Converting to XHTML?
December 14, 2005 6:59 AM Subscribe
I'm planning to move from Blogger to WordPress, migrating about 1,000 posts that currently validate as HTML 4.01 Transitional. I'd like to convert them to XHTML on the way. What's the smart way to do this?
Do you have any markup in your posts that wouldn't already validate as XHTML? When I moved from blogger to wordpress, I just imported everything, and voila, it validated.

The thing is - validation tools only check the page that you submit. So unless the page you submit has all 1000 posts on it, you are really only validating your front page (which has, maybe, 10-20 items on it?). You need to validate ALL the pages, unfortunately... which you could do if you went to the archives for a particular subject I guess...

That being said, you might just want to count your losses and look forward and use the new standard on your WordPress blog.
