I've seen some really great About Me pages listed here, so I thought I'd share mine as well. Feel free to take a look.

You might be interested in reading this so that the templates you are selling are eBay compliant. That includes ME pages.

Hey zip, great to hear from you. For ppl who are unsure about coding they should stick directly to the ways of coding that you linked to.

It wouldn't be wise to create an html page within an html page, as eBay pages are already written in html. But because I mostly focus on CSS based pages, it doesn't really matter, only that my pages may not render well in older browsers that do not support CSS or XHTML.

In this case, these pages render well on eBay and hopefully one day eBay will go CSS based in code and be more compliant. My guess is that they're sticking to basic html for the sake of being user friendly as not all ppl are designers/coders.

So when you see my tags, they are invisible, so to speak, or not read by updated browsers who read the pages correctly in regards to code.

It's similar to the html newsletters we often receive via email. They often start with the "xbody" tag as opposed to a "body" tag for reading in various browsers. But in any case, you always need a "body" tag, that's what holds any coding whatsoever.

Thanks once again for the information, I'm sure it'll come in handy for all of the readers and those that need to continue to learn more about eBay and it's whole thing on compliance.

Cheers!

Had a really nice me page, until ebay changed the format and I hit the wrong button and lost everything.
Now I'm more careful, but it would be nice if they used BIG print to warn ya.

A BODY tag has no place in eBay listings or 'about me' pages. Neither does embedded CSS. The same tags that should not be used in listing templates: HTML, HEAD, TITLE, META, style, LINK, and BODY, should also not be used in 'about me' pages.

And for what it's worth, eBay already uses CSS -- and you can too, if you use inline CSS.

My new standard rebuttal.

...

As it has been repeatedly pointed out we only have access to a small part of the eBay page. There is no reason to push the launch button if something does not fall under what people perceive as good coding (which really is an arbitrary phrase) practices.

First of all - does an eBay page measure up to these standards? I've done some tests, but I'll let others come to their own conclusions. Am I overly concerned about how eBay measures up in the minds of some outside standards purists - no.

Perhaps I'm not tainted yet since I don't try to make a living off eBay - I still consider eBay a fun hobby that costs me a few bucks. But being selective in what one considers Web standards while in an eBay document that very well may come up short is akin to - inviting 6 dinner guests over and being riddled with panic because the bathroom doesn't ping with bling all the while the rest of the house is littered with trash.

eBay, for me and I assume many others, means enjoyment and new experiences. As long as I follow eBay guidelines/rules there shouldn't be a problem. And there doesn't seem to be any guidelines about the use of embedded styles - other than the fact the user can not change anything outside of the member section.

Ahh .. the circuitous route back to Web standards - not once have I advocated the use of the html, head, title, and body tags. I just don't have a problem with the use embedded or external CSS if eBay permits it.

Web standards entails many facets on different levels, some are - the separation of structure from presentation and behavior, many include Web accessibility as falling under Web standards -- it is considered by many as a standard for all Web sites and not just an after thought.

Web standards on one level also includes the light use of tables with no nested tables. Move up a level and there are those that believe that tables should be only used for its original purpose - tubular data and that deprecated tags should not be used. Etc ... etc ...

The whole point of bringing some of the things up is to show that people can say Web standards in one breath, but turn a blind eye to them in other areas.

Really ... how much can be done in one little member section to fully promote or deny Web standards? A -link- or -style- is not going to bring the Web to a grinding halt, any more than some of the other atrocities I see.

Ultimately its eBay's show, so if they ban those tags - then so be it.

In a nutshell - I tried to keep it light and non-offensive.
