I am being reminded how much we rely on W3C and their services to all of those who design and attempt to navigate web pages.
The W3C CSS validation service has been offline for over twenty-four hours now. Since I have not been able to find any information on this outage, my best guess is that there is maintenance or upgrading in the works.
Needless to say, some of our students who had planned to work on coding/styling assignments over the extended holiday weekend are in a bit of a holding pattern. They have come to rely on those W3C validation services as an extra set of eyes to assist them with cleaning up pages and learning the proper way to write codes and styles.
Some might call the validators crutches. I see them as extremely useful tools and hope the CSS service will be operational again soon.
But then, purrrrhaps it is the angels who watch over coders and designers stepping in and saying that we all need a break at times. Now go and enjoy the weekend!
Happy Memorial Day Weekend, everyone!
