Man what a blast from the past. There was a moment in time where xml and xlst was considered the bright future of webapps

I remember writing a blog with xml + xslt and thought it was very cool.

Retrospectively, writing code in XML, eewwww, but back then I liked writing XHTML by hand

+1 on XHTML by hand, I'd always have the XHTML 1.0 badge up to brag about it too: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Valid_XHTML_1.0.svg

I mean it was fine but debugging it was a pain.
