a memo
Big on the to do list is getting the DOCTYPE and Charset headers finalized for the new design. This is an area where I, like many who picked up coding web pages by example, have just enough knowledge to be dangerous.
The biggest question I have, in case you're an expert on these things: I know I should use UTF-8 encoding where possible... but what's involved in doing so?
I mean, I don't want to just slap a charset=UTF-8 attribute into the Content-type header without changing any of the rest of the page, do I? Are the so-called HTML entities covered? I thought they were ISO-8859-1.
See, I gotta go hit the books and figure this out.
