A description of what this site runs on, and who it is by

This is a site about html, css and standards

This site is all hand-coded in xhtml strict 1.0 and CSS. This means it is standards compliant, which is important for reasons of accessibility and ensuring maximum audience.
You may be viewing this in Internet Explorer, which does not follow standards. If you want an excellent, free, standards compliant browser, you can try Firefox (which is what I use):

The site is running on dreamhost, which is an extremely reliable web provider, with good support. Supports php, unlimited mysql databases, perl, lots of one-click-installs like wordpress, phpbb. Best of all, you get 1 Terabyte of bandwidth a month (Thats 1000 Gigabytes!), 20GB storage, unlimited domains and a free .com registration for $7.95 a month. Quality.

The advertising on the site, which helps pay my hosting bill, is provided by google.
