On the last day before the election, DLB wants to share a video we made about the cost of the war in Iraq.
For a short while back in September, DLB was working in collaboration with our long-time friend Dan over at Barack Obama HQ. During the course of that collaboration, we generated a video about the cost of the Iraq War, which, because of the constant issue shuffle, never really made sense for the campaign. We talked to him again today, and got the go-ahead to just upload it to YouTube ourselves. So, if you've got any friends or family who are still undecided, maybe now's a good time to remind them about the the other 1.9 trillion dollars the current administration's taken away from American infrastructure, education, and social welfare.
Here's a handy url to pass along to your friends: http://tr.im/1pt9. Don't forget to vote tomorrow!

It's one thing to make sure that your personal or client website validates, but ensuring that your blog does requires a lifestyle change. Herein, DLB addresses three unexpected, day-to-day blog validation errors.
One particular point of pride for us here at DLB is the fact that we post on BlogLESS six days a week, and we simultaneously manage to keep it valid.
For the most part, once you've mentally committed to valid HTML, this kind of feat rarely causes a problem. However, for a very brief moment this fine Wednesday, I thought I'd share with you three fairly non-intuitive things that we've run into that caused us validation errors, and what you can do to prevent them.

It's not just Vimeo: All embedded videos can be made valid using the Flash Satay technique. Here, we look at some code from YouTube.
About a month ago, I wrote a post for BlogLESS about how to display video content from Vimeo with Valid XHTML using Drew McLellan's Flash Satay technique.
Recently, it occurred to me to make this explicit: You can do the exact same thing with videos from YouTube! So, in the interest of continued blog validation, let's take another look at what makes an embedded video invalid, and how to avoid it. We'll start with the generics, and then move on to the slightly more finicky YouTube requirements.

This one is a little late to the table, but if you somehow missed both the original airing and the news aggregators out there that picked it up, it may yet be news to you.
A few weeks ago, the Republican party released an advertisement promoting their new slogan “the change you deserve”.
Roll the clip:
The logo test would have been instructive but we should also add to that, as commenter Mark Goren suggests, the Google test. A good brand shouldn’t work just as well alongside your competitor’s logo, nor should it link to anything embarrassing or otherwise counter-message online (like a powerful prescription antidepressant).
