OK I give up. What is a blog?
http://www.robotwisdom.com/weblogs/
To me a blog looks like an
article. What am I missing? What is "standards-compliant
blog-type software" ? It just looks like text to me; so where
goes this " standards-compliant " come in.
With a "blog-type" software,
1. You write an article and file it under a unique name in the
Archives
2. Your Front Page is automatically updated with the article in
question including links to the Archived Article (sometimes
referred to as permalinks)
3. The blogging software keeps a history of previous articles
(preferrably searchable)
4. The blogging software also outputs an RSS File (0.91, 1.0, 2.0,
take your pick)
Without a blogging software, stuff like this are done using flat
files. Unfortunately, in order to automate this stuff, it is
possible that some blogging software produces invalid code (HTML,
XHTML, CSS) and this is what the OP was referring to.
....unfortunately, I have a horror of Content Management Software
(we use one at work and the code is horrendous).
