@CollMomo1 well spotted :) you have won... credibility! :D

great videos really helped me get to grips with the new tags. Going to take a while to get used to not using div tags for the bulk of my formating.

@stevenspartan cheers Steve!

I need to see these tags used properly. "menu" is used for program navigation or toolbar application. The web page navigation is done proper by using the -nav- tag instead of menu. And, if this is html5 why are you making a class out of an already available tag, i.e. -article-?

@willgoldstone oh and yes, people say "i can do all this now in html 5" like everyone says it. and on top of that, people are saying they don't need designers, "i can do it all myself now in html5"

[shakaama]

@willgoldstone isn't this all still very much premature? it will not be officially recognized for still some years.

oh and don't worry, you can't offend me, I'm capricorn, i'd need a heart to be offended. and, as of yet, i haven't discovered my having a heart. it's just a matter of course, not to engender sympathy.

@shakaama thats a strange and narrow minded view, especially as the part that hasn't changed is the design - the css has only gotten more detailed and powerful. surely? everyone needs one. Sorry to sound insulting but I don't think you've fully grasped what html5 is - you know its just mostly reassigning of tags at the basic level? when people quote 'oh this is done in html5' now, usually what they mean is canvas or webgl anyhow.
