A Sticky Post

This post is sticky. It gets a special style and always resides at the top of the home page. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. Suspendisse bibendum nulla vitae eros lobortis ullamcorper. Aenean pretium hendrerit ipsum, vitae aliquet ligula commodo vitae nonummy est aliquet. Ut ultrices, nulla id fringilla condimentum, augue tellus vehicula nisi, volutpat tincidunt mi nisi quis ligula. Vivamus in lectus nisl. Pellentesque viverra mauris eget lectus vestibulum hendrerit fringilla arcu eleifend. Nam ut turpis diam, in varius tellus. Quisque id nisl neque, eget aliquet nibh.

The Great Wave off Kanagawa

The Great Wave off Kanagawa (神奈川沖浪裏 Kanagawa Oki Nami Ura, lit. “Under a Wave off Kanagawa”) is a famous woodblock print by the Japanese artist Hokusai. It was published in 1832 (Edo Period) as the first in Hokusai’s series 36 Views of Mount Fuji and is his most famous work. It depicts an enormous wave threatening boats near the Japanese prefecture of Kanagawa. As in all the other prints in the series, Mount Fuji can be seen in the background. While sometimes assumed to be a tsunami, the wave is more likely to be a large okinami. (Japanese “ocean wave”) — Wikipedia

WYSIWYRG

What you see is what you really get. I stumbled upon this brilliant tip from Andrew Ozz today:

Things like typefaces, headings, image padding and borders, etc. can easily be set by the current theme making the visual editor… more WYSIWYG. All it takes is a stylesheet and a small function in the theme’s functions.php file.

Say what? I had no idea, so I decided I had to give this a try for 2010. The result?

The theme now passes validation as HTML5. The calendar widget and gallery shortcode generate HTML that do not validate and should be addressed in core — but a default install will now validate. (Updated, see comments.)
