I run a teeny tiny site that is not officially open yet called Logic Center (www.Logic-Center.com). It is a community for the entire web industry, and I really want some more members and what-not... but that is not why I posted this... I want to know how many standards are there in web design, then we can take those standards and stick them onto my site... I hope you all join the site as well... It's not much of anything atm, but hopefully I can make it into something... So far there are only 4 people reg'd up there, that's me, 2 hosts, and my older brother... :P lol... so as you can see, I'm not too big yet

I'm not sure entirely what you mean from standards, at least not from the context you've placed them in.

What most people check against though are standards-compliant (X)HTML and CSS coding, and possibly accessibility requirements, like the American Section 508.

Just as good a place as any:

Webstandards.org

I think you are underestimating the underlying size and complexity of 'web standards'.
It is not practical to 'stick' the W3C guidelines onto your site. Not least because the sites discussing the main components of 'standards' (such as W3C.org) are likely to be many, many times larger than your own site.

You can, of course, cover/discuss the technical and conceptual aspects of standards on a certain (superficial) level, but even then, it is a much larger job to do in a worthwhile way than to simply copy/paste something into a post/page.


Another reason that I feel the job would be overwhelming for you is that you are still at a stage where you are asking about standards.
The creation of a fresh, 'worthwhile', standards-oriented resource/forum would be a daunting task even for someone who is already well-versed in the principles and practicalities behind standards.

I don;t wisah to sound like the nay-sayer and I do not wish to discourage you. I just don't think that you appreciate the size and practicalities of what you're suggesting and how unprepared you are at this stage of your learning process.

I'd suggest that you spend sufficient time developing your own understanding of standards from both a conceptual and practical point of view before you embark on a project that, even before you've started, so greatly exceeds your capabilities.
