Although many people are of the opinion that grouping CSS3 and other web technologies under “HTML5″ as an umbrella term is a bad thing, I beg to differ. Professionals and hobbyists aren’t going to be confused by this, and people that have no understanding of how websites actually work will benefit greatly by having logo that represents the new technologies; they couldn’t care less about what the strict interpretation of “HTML5″ actually means.

I’ve been at work converting the site to HTML5, mainly by replacing generic div elements to more descriptive ones (section, aside, header etc.) wherever possible.

I’ll be changing some more stuff in the upcoming weeks, but as of now, the markup of maxpagels.com validates as HTML5. Special thanks to the people behind Modernizr for creating a fantastic JavaScript library – it’s painless to style HTML5 elements in IE using it.
