Doesn't work with XHTML and reading their code takes an act of god. |
Thomas, as far as I can tell, it works fine with XHTML (my blog is XHTML & uses it :-)). If you have an example of where it's not working, it would be great if you could post it here or in the Webmaster Help groups (http://groups.google.com/group/Google_Webmaster_Help-Indexing/browse_thread/thread/8043e56a67baa401).
I'm not sure why you'd want to read the JavaScript code, as far as I know it's kept "short" to reduce the download time & make things as fast as possible for your users (which however makes it harder to read).
Who here is using it already? :-) |
Perhap what Thomas is referring to is that the code snippet Google presents to users does not validate in e.g. XHTML1.0 Strict. The W3C validator will say that <style type="text/css"> is not allowed there. |
Ah, I see what you mean now :) – feel free to move that block to your "head," it'll work just as well (or just add the styles to your stylesheet). We discussed making it a bit clearer that you can place the style-element in the "head," but we thought that most users would have more trouble adding the widget then. |
So why doesn't Google automatically implement this in Blogger instead of sending the viewer to your base domain? |
