Designing With Web Standards

I just received my copy of Zeldman’s Designing With Web Standards from Amazon today. I’ve heard a lot of good things about it, so I’m looking forward to reading it.
Now that I’ve changed my site’s design, I’ll be looking for ways to improve the code… make it more lean and standard’s compliant. Actually, I don’t know how much more lean I can get. I’ll try though.
This book along with another book I bought a few months back (Cascading Style Sheets: Designing For the Web) should be quite a combo and help me make all my future sites lean, mean standards machines. OK… that was seriously lame, I know.
I’m only on page 5, and I’ve already got a running list of things to change or add. Zeldman hasn’t even started with examples yet, but I’ve got several items to change just by reading his overview. Excellent book!
I’m realizing I’ve got quite a bit of work ahead of me to make this site completely standards compliant. One major feature I need to add soon is a print stylesheet. I also need to update some attributes on different elements so people with disabilities can access them more easily. I used to have that down, but have since changed blogging tools and changed my code a couple times.
