Darren Goossens ☛ Wake on LAN again

Manuel Matuzović ☛ The three semantics of HTML - HTMHell
Let me ask you a fundamental question: do you pay attention to HTML semantics?
If the answer is "yes", then good job, your elephants are happy and thriving 🐘!
However, if the answer is "no"… Don't make them sad, find a little bit of time and enhance your HTML. Throw away extraneous
s, add a couple of headings, embed some metadata! There is no need to do everything at once; do it step by step. Every little improvement matters and can make someone's day a little better. A screenreader user will be grateful for that additional heading, your fellow web developer will thank you for that extra class, and a crawler… Well, it won't feel anything, but hey, it will understand your content better!If you do not know how to start, I suggest removing all distractions – including CSS – and focusing on the raw content. Copy it to your favourite word processor and think about the role of each element and its relationship with other elements. And then format all of them according to your findings. That's your content's semantics, waiting to be ported back to HTML!
Do it, for your users, for your fellow web developers (not necessarily for crawlers…), but most importantly – for the elephants!
