But it doesn't look spectacular. It's just a few colors and a logo. My point is, styling is an easy job when you use semantic markup. It's just fun then.

Google Whore Posts: 2,767 Group: Admin Member #8 Joined: January 27, 2007	So I am a little unsure exactly what semantic markup is.

Wanderer in the Fog Posts: 731 Group: Members Member #10 Joined: January 28, 2007	Oh sorry. You use HTML to say what it is, and you use CSS to say how it looks like. E.g. you put head lines between h-tags, paragraphs between p-tags and so on, but you don't use tags that just change the look like b or i. Use CSS for the look, Always separate semantics and styling. This approach makes your life much easier. Take an example from your site terhumphrey.com. Look at your articles. You tend to put head lines in b-tags instead of, say, h2. When you'd like to change the look of your head lines, you have to visit each and everyone of them again and change the code. If you took h2 tags, you could just change the CSS for h2 and you're done. Changing the look becomes easy when your HTML is strictly semantic.
