I actually noticed it intermittently last night, but Slashdot has finally made the move. Kudos to them.
While I really want to make a “Thanks for joining 1999! LOL!” remark here, I can’t bring myself to do so. Perhaps that’s because I don’t want to think about what a terrible process it must have been to convert all those old, statically generated stories from HTML to CSS. It’s hard to even imagine.
Oh, and to all of you people complaining about Slashdot not moving to XHTML Strict – why would they do so? Well-formed CSS has obvious advantages. But XHTML? What’s the point? (And that’s from someone whose site does validate as XHTML strict.)

Another Wordpress-enabled site enters the vast, untamed wilds of the internet. Well, perhaps they’re not that vast any more, and they’re certainly tamed (at least mostly.)
What was I saying again?
Anyway, now there exists but one challenge left to accomplish. It is a familiar challenge to any would-be blogger: I must take what I written before this point, and shoehorn it into this space, eliminating the vast, unfriendly, empty white space, thereby creating several entries before this current one. Huzzah!
And that is what I shall do.

200 Market Building
An attractive, understated site for a Portland, OR office building, 200marketplace.com features a really keen animated menu, and some cool JavaScript-based layer trickery. If you need any office space in downtown, this is the place to go.
www.200marketplace.com
...Ohh…who am I kidding? You know why this page is here? It’s to provide another link to the aforementioned website. I swear, if you type “200 market building” or “200 market place” into Google, you get every damn site on the block (including this one), except the actual website. We can’t figure out why that is. I imagine it’s because Google looks at the site, sees mostly images, and raises its middle finger in disgust. We even tried to create a custom landing page, with nicely formatted text links, and submit that to Google, but no dice.
I guess, if all else fails, I’ll just redirect 200marketplace.com to Slashdot , and that should fix it.
