As tags DOCTYPE are extremely important for operation of Web under standards and as consortium W3C is the leading organization creating standards for Web, followed expect that on site W3C the list of all variants of tag DOCTYPE will be presented and it would seem this information on site W3C is possible to find quickly and simply in any certain section. But it is not so exactly.

W3.org is not a site with articles as A List Apart, WebReference or Webmonkey. It isn’t created for the aid to web designers, developers and authors of sites, and it isn’t engaged in propagation of the newest information and a good advice. It is not its task.

Yes, sometimes W3C publishes series of educational articles though the majority of web developers even don’t know about it. But in the core, site W3C contains meeting of sentences, projects and Recommendations which are written by engineers for engineers. And when I speak about engineers, I don’t mean simple experts in the field of web developments, such specialists, as you and I. I mean engineers in comparison with whom we look the full blockheads.

I can spend all day long in search of the correct tags DOCTYPE on a site w3.org, but I will not find any page where they are enumerated all together. If you all the same manage to find any tag DOCTYPE (for example, mentioned in any Recommendation or the Detail design) most likely it will appear that on your site it won’t work.

On all site W3C tags DOCTYPE where in attributes misses URL, and tags DOCTYPE containing in attributes relative URL connected to the documents which are on same site W3C are scattered. If you take this tag from site W3C, it will transfer it on the site and will interpose into the pages relative URL will specify in nonexistent documents on your site, your work and efforts of a browser hence will in vain disappear.

What further?

How you can import the contribution to propagation of standards in Web? First of all, place in bookmarks the given page (or simply save it on the computer), and also check up, whether interposes yours web-redactor into your pages tag DOCTYPE and if interposes, – whether it uses the correct variant of a tag?

Many software developers have simply copied incomplete variants of tag DOCTYPE from site W3C in the programs. And as a result: you rely on the program which interposes a wrong variant of a tag, the browser runs into “a mysterious” mode and you unsuccessfully struggle with a riddle why your pages don’t work as it is necessary.

It is necessary to write also to those children that do your favorite web-editor and show to them as the correct tag DOCTYPE then; it is polite to ask to make them changes to the new version of the program looks. In certain cases, you can even make changes to the program.

Today the Internet technologies have become very popular. The Internet network is not only a place to entertain but also a platform to earn money. Whatever the reason is, to be presented in the Internet one needs a site. And this is when the question how to make a website arises. Those who are looking for details on how to build a website, should refer to the Internet itself. It is full of guides on how to make a website and related topics.

In any way, it wouldn’t be wise not to avail themselves of this chance given to us by modern technologies. Google and other search engines, social networks and forums, blogs – all of them could help to find information on “make a new website” and similar topics.
