The #1 thing that made my soul weep today:

[hope]

Discovering this in a template for one of work's webapps:

  <table>
   <tr>
     <td width="99%"><div class="header1">Page Heading</div></td>
     <td width="1%"><img src="static/images/1x1_transparent.gif"/></td>
     <td width="150"> </td>
   </tr>
 </table>

Yes. That is the markup they have given a PAGE HEADING. It serves no other purpose. JUST A PAGE HEADING.

ETA: for those playing at home, here's what a standards-compliant, semantically marked-up, beautiful page heading looks like under its skirts:

<h1>Page Heading</h1>

But tables are pretty!

*ducks*

(Don't think about writing an IT-esque Tochwood AU where Ianto is a coder who snarls at stuff like this and Jack is the office manager who thinks Ianto is adorable and Toshiko is actually the company's server and seems eerily sentient and Owen is another coder who just likes to come in, hack out code, and go home and Gwen is the new office girl and don't think about it.)

Tables are only pretty if they are displaying DATA. The same way I would judge you if you decided to publish your story in an excel spreadsheet *glares*

I think Toshiko is the boss and she makes her code monkeys wear fetish gear when they're on the job. She rules with a rubber fist.

Now I want to write some Ianto/Jack porn and publish it in a spreadsheet. Just to make you read it.
