Tables are embedded in the Arc code for news.yc, as brett mentioned, but probably it could be rewritten in a few hours for a list-based layout. Of course, changing the layout would require an Arc developer, which is the disadvantage to not using templates. You may have noticed that most hackers seem to think web design is unimportant and/or should require a programmer for each change.

As a programmer, I can tell you I really don't mind that changing my website requires a programmer. It's perfectly convenient for me.

The only reason to do something differently is a client requirement, or a desire on my part to get someone else to do stuff for me.

That's refreshingly honest. :)

Well, if you "love to read beautiful and meaningful HTML" why does your site http://prezentit.com/ have HTML errors?

First one is on line 34. An end tag isn't finished . . . there are several more, and I am not even a web designer.

That's a lot of nerve, criticizing the work of others, while not getting your own done right.

NO it has not HTML errors, it has done that way to achieve the desired result, take a look at the source code if you like, don't rely just in the W3C validator.

If you find any error, let me know and I'll fix it. Thanks.

On the other hand I'm not criticizing any HTML errors, I'm just saying that for this case a list suits better than tables.

not finishing an end tag isn't an error? o-k

Sounds familiar, the whole "it's not a bug, it's a feature!"

I DID take a look at the source code, that is how I saw that . . .

Speaking of the W3C validator . . . I suppose YOU would know better than they do when it comes to HTML, right? Right.

I found an error and you claim it was intentional.

No one asserted that you were criticizing HTML errors (nice attempt at a strawman) I stated that you ARE criticizing the work of others while not getting your own done right.
