I just told my friend check out my latest post on hang-gliding, and he responded with "WTF LEARN HTML NOOB! I can't view your video!" Not only are some of my posts non-compliant, but it appears as if the template I'm using is also non-compliant. This bothers me, so I'm going to fix it.
The first thing I did was change my embedded flash video to use the "Satay Method" from A List Apart. This involved throwing the embed tag out the window in favor of solely using the object tag.
I'll keep updating this post as I find more sources of errors.
It appears as if I am screwed. Since I have no access to the full HTML source of this blog, I can't control the escaping of ampersands or the fact that an iframe is used, while the XHTML 1.0 strict DTD is declared at the beginning of the page. What's the deal here?? Looks like I will eventually have to go with independent hosting and a blog that allowed me greater control.
Does anyone have suggestions for hosting this blog?

Yo Tom,
Krup clued me in to your predicament.
Unfortunately, I don't have much of a clue about hosted blog services. Wikipedia has a decent list:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog_hosting_service#Developer-hosted
Pranay hosts his own wordpress instance (pkhurana.com) and I wrote my own blogging engine (jmoiron.net). Jeremy (jmikola.net) seems to have screwed something up on his site, but he doesn't run a blog anymore, so I guess he's no help.
If you want to run some software and have a domain (or don't mind a sub on one of mine), I can host you. Wordpress and MovableType seem to be the most popular ones.
