As I've mentioned previously, I'm trying to implement some HTML5 Tags (http://www.w3schools.com/tags/default.asp) into The Gutting Of LOR, mostly the new ones for your page layout.

Examples:
<hgroup> - Groups heading (<h1> to <h6>) elements - http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_hgroup.asp
<header> - Defines a header for a document or section - http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_header.asp
<footer> - Defines a footer for a document or section - http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_footer.asp
<nav> - Defines navigation links - http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_nav.asp
<address> - Defines contact information for the author/owner of a document - http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_address.asp
<thead> - Groups the header content in a table - http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_thead.asp
<tbody> - Groups the body content in a table - http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_tbody.asp
<tfoot> - Groups the footer content in a table - http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_tfoot.asp

So, I was just wondering if anyone else has started to use them, and if not, why? |shake|

I'm using using
Header, Footer and Article in the two pages that I redid this last week. Didn't use tables at all.

I guess I should have mentioned that you can see all of those tags in action on this page:

The real challenge is not using tables.

CSS is like trying to tame a wild beast.

Today, while trying to better understand css compound selectors, I finally figured out what !important does.

Going to be using compound selectors more now that I have a better understanding of how they work.

But right now I've got a ton of typing changes to make to the spa website (http://stonewaterfla.com/). It's great that they had me do it in Wordpress so that they could make their own changes and now have me doing everything. $$$

<section> & <article> are good ones I use, although I am still unclear if I am using them in the right way or what, if any benefits from SEO I might get....

I've been using html5doctor (http://html5doctor.com) as a reference

All our new site templates will be using them. Most everything else I do is WordPress based these days but if and when I tweak templates I'll be staying HTML 5 compliant as much as possible.

Wish I could figure a way to get HTML 5 video to work right on my blog feeds. If I had my way, I'd throw out flash today.
