Making the web a better place

I am also currently reading Designing with Web Standards by Jeffrey Zeldman.

It is a book that evangelizes the use of standards such as XHTML, CSS, and DOM in the design of websites. In a way, he is preaching to the converted in my case, as I am a strong believer in standards (I work for a non-web-related standards organization).
The good thing about this book is that it balances the evangelism with practical advice on applying the use of web standards in the imperfect world of the web. It recognises that people such as myself have had a job to do and in the past that has required a fair amount of workarounds and hacks.
Check out these sites for some good wholesome web-standards-based fun...
