Id fail

Remember in February I wrote a message about how I run Tell Her Before I Die? One of the things I mentioned was that the ID attribute of each article element "is the date and daily post number, in the format of DD-MM-YY-#". Turns out that's bad naming convention; IDs shouldn't start with a digit. I found this out while messing with CSS3 animation.

Starting today, I'll be adding the letter a to the beginning of each ID. I could leave the old messages as they are and simply move forward with this convention in mind. But, gah, I have a huge urge to correct all the other messages I've written. I mean, come on, all those screw-ups! The deterrent is that this is the 153rd message I've written here. I've got a lot to revise if I take this on.

I'll do it, after all. At the moment, I'm pretty sure it doesn't benefit anyone but me. This could help keep things simple for the future, though. And this is one of those cases where rewriting the past won't hurt anyone. Why not seize the opportunity? Better to turn something negligibly wrong into something negligibly right, especially when you're grasping for everything right in your life. For that matter, I will edit that February post with my updates convention. Nobody needs to know, muahaha! Though they can still find out here.

So, off to make edits!
