In a com­ment in yesterday’s Val­ida­tor to RSS in CF post, some­one call­ing them­selves “bward” sug­gested I mod­ify the code to make it val­i­date an entire site.

Believe me, I’ve thought about it. For a start, it would need to run on a sched­ule and write the RSS to a file, as “val­i­da­tion on demand” would take too long. That’s straight­for­ward enough. Also, I’d need to spi­der the site to get the pages to validate.

Hmmm… I won­der does the W3C Link Val­ida­tor have XML out­put? Maybe that’s some­thing to inves­ti­gate. Or I could scrape the out­put. The RSS feed could then return link val­i­da­tion errors as well as HTML val­i­da­tion errors. More hmmm…

Wow, it’s not like I don’t have a mil­lion things to do any­way! Among other things, I’m in the process of mov­ing the site from Domain Host in Mel­bourne to PerthWeb’s own host­ing ser­vice, WebClick. Don’t get me wrong — Erez and Donna at Domain Host have been awe­some these last cou­ple of years, but see­ing as we’re launch­ing our own host­ing ser­vice I thought I might as well take advan­tage of it. And I’m think­ing of upgrad­ing to Fuse­blog 2 while I’m at it. Busy busy busy!
