HTML5 tables require tr inside thead

When I learned HTML tables back in the 90s, at some point I discovered the <thead> element for grouping the <th> column headers. What I missed was there should be a <tr> element between the two. In other words, a well-formed HTML table with a header looks like this:

<table>
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>Name</th>
            <th>Value</th>
            <th>Date</th>
        
continue.

Lucida Hybrid

One thing that's been bugging me since I started using Opera is that bold and italic text was showing as normal text in my personal blog. Yet other browsers were correctly displaying bold and italic on my blog.

I'm still not entirely sure why Mac Opera had a problem with it, but I fixed it by using the Lucida Hybrid stylesheet tweak.

body, #content {
    font-family: "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Grande",
        Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

strong, em, b, i {
    font-family: "Lucida Sans", "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Grande",
      
continue.

Multilingual

This week, I have written code in C#, C++, Managed C++, C, WiX, NAnt, Ac­tion­Script, VBScript, JScript, cmd batch, NMake, HTML, XSLT, and Ruby. And I will probably get some Python in before the weekend is over. <boggle/>
