Thanks.

Well neither do I... but this next bit from Jack looks like a way to go. But 
if he's out of his depth, I'm not even in the same pond... :P

Indeed.

This is good. I'll add it straight away.

This sounds really smooth, but again, it's over my head... :(

I think what I'll do is put in the stuff i understand, and then someone 
should update the howto if/when these additions (dyndns & configure-script) 
get investigated...

I put the draft at: http://bund.dk/~jon/weblethowto-pub.html so you guys can 
get a preview. (Also it was a good opportunity to make some more html and 
myself a homepage -my first...) I'll update it later today with the above...

Jon,
It looks nice, but there are a few things you may want to do. These are 
only suggestions, and you don't have to do them if you don't want to. I 
appreciate the effort required to author FAQs, and don't wish to discourage 
you from submitting them in the future. Please keep this in mind as you 
read through the suggestions below.

First run tidy against the document. It should correct most of the old tags 
you're using.

$ tidy -utf8 -m -f errorfile -asxml weblethowto-pub.html

 is now 
 is now 
 is now 

You can see the current problems with the document by going to the w3c.org 
site, putting in your Address:, and selecting Document Type: of XHTML 1.0 
Strict.
http://validator.w3.org/

Validating against strict will help you later, but it's not required. I'm 
currently trying to get our documents to meet valid transitional guidelines.

On the contrary. Seeing as this is my first html ever (well almost anyway) I 
made it pretty much 'monkey see, monkey do' (looking at the source for other 
pages), so I rather enjoy getting some directions on this. 

> First run tidy against the document. 

Right, I gotta get 'tidy' first, though. I'll look into that tonight.

lol
This is kind of funny, cause I really haven't that faintest idea about html, 
in the first place... so being told that I'm using old tags :D
I mean, if I'd been doing html for years... oh well, maybe I should consult 
some resource somewhere...

Specifically the  tag was really just something I entered thinking 'hmmm, 
this prolly won't work' and then, much to my surprise, it did... :)

I'll check this later.

Thanks for the info.

More on this subject should maybe be a new thread like 'Documentation 
formatting' or something, don't you think?

Jon,
You can get tidy from here:

There are some good on-line XHTML tutorials here:
http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers \
/Data_Formats/Markup_Languages/XHTML/Tutorials/

>Thanks for the info.

No problem. I'm glad I could help. :-)

There are differing opinions on changing thread names. I believe it has a 
lot to do with witch email client you use, and whether it is capable of 
threading mailing lists.

Thanks, I found a very nice summary of xhtml at:
http:// I forgot to bookmark it... oh well I should have no problem 
finding it again - I just put 'xhtml' i google...

Well I was just thinking that this end of the thread was turning into more of 
a document-format thingie, and less of a 'how do I check on my firewall from 
the outside'-thingie...

But hey - I'm the newbie on the list, so whatever's the norm here... :)

BTW I updated the page again, in case wanna go check it out
