XHTML SEO Tidy Up: Overview
XHTML SEO Tidy Up
by -- Released on Mar 30, 2007
XHTML Tidy is an easy to use plugin that will clean your page and blog content HTML and turn it into valid XHTML.
Features
- Quick installation
- Easy-to-use interface
- Original content is saved when Tidy is performed
- Helps avoid SEO costly mistakes in your page content and blog entries
Please NOTE
If you are not using an XHTML valid template and/or are defining your text styles using the editor font functions rather than choosing styles from your stylesheet, you may not get the results you are expecting. To check your template for XHTML, open your site and view the page source. Look for the "DOCTYPE" at the top of your source. If it is NOT there, you are not using an XHTML template. If it is there, look for XHTML Transitional in the DOCTYPE. If it says anything other than that, it's not an XHTML template. You can also go to
http://validator.w3.org to check your validation.
Description
One of the important criteria that search engines such as Google, Yahoo and MSN use to rank websites and their pages is the validity of the XHTML code source. If the code is not valid, it gets a lower ranking.
If you are trying to do search engine optimization on your Soho site, you need this plugin! Soholaunch's built-in editor currently does not output valid XHMTL. If you have an XHTML valid template, but haven't cleaned your page content, then your page will not validate. XHTML Tidy can help and do it in two mouse clicks!
XHTML Tidy is based on the "HTML Tidy" project and will work on both Windows and Unix based hosting platforms.
XHTML Tidy will ONLY affect the page content areas as well as Blog entries, and is run after your content has been added/edited so it will only tidy the output from the Page Editor, thus saving your original content for editing in the Soho administration as usual.

FAQ
Q. How does this plug-in work?
A. The plugin utilizes an executable file function that automatically scours the html for mistakes and inconsistent html markup. It then updates the html that the website displays, leaving the original code alone. This way, editing is not affected by the plugin.
Q. How often do I have to run the plugin?
A. The plugin only needs to be run when you update one or more of your web pages. When you run it, you only need to tidy the pages or blog entries you have modified.
