XHTML stands for eXtensible Hypertext Mark-up Language and it can be described as a stricter form of HTML - the code used to build web pages. It is a form of XML and so standard XML tools can be used to create, parse and validate XHTML, unlike standard HTML which has a very forgiving syntax, requiring specialized parsers. Making web pages machine readable is increasingly important as embedded microformats (like Technorati's tags) contribute to the semantic web.
The XHTML standard is currently at version 1.1, with proposals for versions 1.2 and 2.0 currently under discussion. Blog entries on XHTML are likely to cover third party software support for the standard, debate, criticism as well as how-to guides for those learning to write XHTML compliant web pages.
