Sorry for any confusion or weirdness. It just goes to show that you can’t trust random widgets you find on the web.

Luckily though, it made me revalidate my website and it seems that three different plugins were causing validation errors ranging from adding the “border=0″ attribute to images all the way up to invalidating my entire sidebar. I can understand minor errors like adding the border=”0″ attribute to images, but when the latter half of the page is invalidated, something is seriously wrong. The offending plugin has been removed and probably won’t be reactivated.

While I do understand that it can be difficult to test every possible combination of settings — INAP caused a lot of trouble for a long time for me, many plugin designers need to be more careful when their plugins are going to be on the front page of websites. A few extra minutes can save one a lot of bad reputation.
