Copious use of the new HTML5 structural element, although the section element has been overused, with our old friend the div being more appropriate in certain places. The “sidebar” div that contains numerous aside elements probably could have been an aside itself with sections.

The content div could have been replaced with a section element. The first use of the nav element to enclose the main navigation is ideal, but the utility navigation should not use the nav element as it is not primary site navigation. The article elements in the footer should really be divs.

Nice use of the time element and WAI-ARIA roles throughout. Remember that the script element no longer requires the type attribute.

Lindsey’s site is well structured, making use of some new HTML5 elements such as header, nav, section, article and footer. There is one untitled section used to contain the main content which would be better as a div, and time with the pubdate attribute would be a better choice for marking up the blog posts’ published dates. Otherwise a pretty nice HTML5 site.

Nice clean use of the major HTML5 structural elements although I’d question the use of the small element to enclode the dates in the journal. The time element should have been used instead. Each of the journal and work entries are contained within an article which is internally split into sections.

Remember that the type attribute is no longer required for the script and link stylesheet elements.

Overall a nice clean coded HTML5 website although the charset definition could be much shorter now with HTML5. The section element is being used here as a wrapper, which it shouldn’t be. If the section in question has no title, then a div will suffice. Each blog entry is contained within an article with a heading, although the time element could have been used to enclose the blog post time.

Use could have been made of the new input elements in the guestbook form, and remember that the type attribute is no longer required for script elements.

One notable feature of the site is the use of multiple aside elements in the sidebar, and the use of nested sections within. A glance at the document outline shows how this is an effective way of marking up this secondary content.

The posts on the home page use a section element to wrap the content immediately inside the article, but a div would do a better job as it is semantically meaningless.

Plenty of good demos here on a wide range of HTML5 features and APIs. In one or two places the article element is used without a heading as more of a generic wrapper, but overall a great resource and very well put together.

The site uses WAI-ARIA roles for accessibility and new HTML5 elements such as header, nav, section, article and footer. There is an opportunity to use the time element on each article, and new form input types for the search form and comments form.
