Validation

This theme is marked as XHTML 1.0 Transitional and D-theme validates against XHTML 1.0 Strict because there is no reason to use transitional with modern browsers. The theme fails XHTML validation due to the following line containing an obsolete target attribute. There are sound reasons for using a new window for specific links and the current fashion is to use some javascript in the link. There is no reason to use a new window for the link specified in this theme.

Total Validator and Cynthia Says agree the theme is US 508 compliant as far as a computer can check.

You can almost convert this theme to fluid width. The body element has a style fixed at 960 pixels wide in style.css at line 27. Remove the width to free most of the page. The RSS image ends up in the wrong place because it is a background image for the menu, not the RSS feed link.
