Minimalist Markup
While Ryan, James, and Mark have been pursing a minimalist design from a presentation perspective, I’ve been quietly pursuing a minimalist design from a markup perspective. I’m not sure when it changed, but Firefox 3.0, Safari 3.1.1, and Opera 9.5 now all support units of em in SVG dimensions.
This means that my front page (under development) can be valid HTML5 and yet have absolutely no div
or span
elements, no inline style
or class
attributes, and no table
or img
elements used purely for layout purposes.
I have more work to do on individual post pages and on the archives. The archives will continue to employ a table for the calendar.
