When rebuilding this website I came across some issue I had with Firefox, which I did not expect at all. I was guessing that Firefox was already compliant to HTML5, or at least, some parts of it like local storage, but no, I was wrong.

Building a HTML page is not that difficult. I for one like to specify myself where which element is placed. Kind of a control freak ;-). In this post I’ll explain the problems I have faced before when building a HTML page. And what structure I think is best.

Banners getting bad
To be honest, I think banners are a good thing. Having banners on the site is an obvious way to earn money for the content you show for free.
That is the main reason why I do not have an ad blocker.

.Clearfix is a classname which is used often on websites to make sure that a wrapping box gets the height of all it’s (floating) children. This means that child elements will not stick out of the box if they are floated (float: left/right)
A lot of people love the .clearfix, it has been introduced somewhere in 2004, which is a while ago. I was using the .clearfix a lot, and I loved it! Until… Someone @fronteers (http://fronteers.nl) told me what I am about to tell you now..

HTML5 and SEO
Well what about it?
HTML5 is all about the future of the web. Having semantic tags and attributes and much more possibilities to create some stunning web applications.
I’ve read around a lot and started wondering, “What about HTML5 and SEO?”. A lot of sites rely heavily on SEO, so before switching to HTML5 they actually want to know what the impact is.
