Sigh... I am filing this post under the category 'annoyances' because after having tried installing another WordPress Plugin I am getting very tired with the code many and I believe almost all of them produce: it screws up the xhtml and does not validate.

This also applies to many themes by the way. I started using WP to quickly set up a blog site in order to post articles and have some of the plugins add extras to it, so I would have time for my work and projects, but now it seems I am spending more time figuring out what and why things go wrong all the time instead of writing content.

Oh well, I guess that's what you get when you're a Web Standards Geek. Now I use the theme K2 which is actually more than just a theme plus so far it validates and even has a nice live search feature. Below I will put up and maintain a list of themes, WP widgets / plugins which cause trouble.

• default search widget
• Google Reader Shared Items
• aNobii WordPress Widget
• Event Calendar 3 widget ( with k2 Event calendar works)

Themes

• Briny 1.0
• Elite 1.0

Update: Now I am trying the Mimbo theme: a magazine theme. Not 100% standards compliant I think but I'' try and clean up the code step by step.
