- fix bugs for blessfrey.me's static pages - no footer in the middle of the body, no unclosed <ul> tags from diary entry snippets breaking the CSS.
- w3's Nu Html Checker (lol @ the nu name) is really handy for automatically checking whether all my HTML tags are closed and CSS is valid, especially the parts generated through Bottle + SimpleTemplate.
