Discovery Channel – PORTRAITS TAIWAN

I got an information when taking a train back to Taipei last night: Discovery Channel Taiwan and Government Information Office, ROC hold a film production activity, named PORTRAITS TAIWAN . There's a lots detailed information about this activity through the link; it seems expiration for the competition of production team, but the personal part is still working.

The W3C Markup Validation Service

The following situations while validating:
  • It's an error when using <img> tag without "alt" property, alt="" is necessary.
  • Another common error occurs when including a URL which contains an ampersand (&), replacing & with "&amp;" is the only correct writing, so are the other special characters.

Use international date format (ISO)

W3C QA – Quality Tips for Webmasters: Use international date format (ISO)
The international format defined by ISO (IS0 8601) tries to address all these problems by defining a numerical date system as follows: YYYY-MM-DD where * YYYY is the year [all the digits, i.e. 2012]

* MM is the month [01 (January) to 12 (December)]
* DD is the day [01 to 31]


For example, "3rd of April 2002", in this international format is written: 2002-04-03.
