+The Daring Fireball website is hosted by Joyent.
+Articles and links are published through Movable Type. In addition to my own SmartyPants and Markdown plug-ins, Daring Fireball uses several excellent Movable Type plug-ins, including Brad Choate’s MT-Regex and MT-IfEmpty, and Nat Irons’s Amputator.
+Stats are tracked using Mint. Additional web nerdery, including the membership system, is fueled by Perl, PHP, and MySQL.
+Web Standards
+Web standards are important, and Daring Fireball adheres to them. Specifically, Daring Fireball’s HTML markup should validate as either HTML 5 or XHTML 4.01 Transitional, its layout is constructed using valid CSS, and its syndicated feed is valid Atom.
+If Daring Fireball looks goofy in your browser, you’re likely using a shitty browser that doesn’t support web standards. Internet Explorer, I’m looking in your direction. If you complain about this, I will laugh at you, because I do not care. If, however, you are using a modern, standards-compliant browser and have trouble viewing or reading Daring Fireball, please do let me know.
