 | Happy Valentine's Day! If you're like me, you probably have a lot going on today and taking time out to eat candy and go on a date just isn't in the cards. Maybe this weekend. :-) But even if you can't go on a date, you can show your love for your favorite websites and products for web designers by nominating them in the 2012 Readers' Choice Awards. Nominations will be closing at midnight Eastern Time February 15, 2012. If you haven't gotten your nominations in, then your favorites might not be selected as finalists. This week also has a new article on building an HTML5 document and the announcement that I have two new intern contributors to the site. Feel free to welcome them in the comments and give them suggestions about what you'd like to see them write about. Please forward this newsletter, in its entirety, to your colleagues, coworkers and friends, anyone you think would like to learn more about web design, HTML, and web development. | |
Only TWO Days Left for Nominations
 There are only two days left for me to accept nominations for the various categories. If I don't receive enough nominations in a category, I will not be able to set up voting for that category. Are there really NO Facebook or Twitter accounts you read about Web Design and HTML? And interestingly, the only nominations I've received regarding mobile apps aren't even apps at all, but rather the Guidelines for building apps. Seriously, am I the only person who uses my smartphone to do work on?
Please Make Your Nominations! Nominations will be accepted between January 18, 2012 and February 15, 2012. The voting will begin on February 22nd and the winners will be announced on March 30th.
| Get Started with HTML5
HTML5 is no more difficult to write than HTML 4. This article explains how to create an HTML5 document using sectioning elements and tools to help older versions of IE display them correctly.
| Two New Interns
About a month ago, I advertised looking for college students interested in a technical writing internship for the first half of 2012. I am pleased to announce that I have hired two great people: Kim R. West and Alexander Peev. Kim and Alexander will be providing new articles to the site about web design and development. I am very glad to have their help and look forward to seeing their articles. Welcome Kim and Alexander!
| Poll: Where do you include character set information in your
It's important to specify the character set for your web pages because that tells the browser what characters are valid on the web page. But more importantly, if you don't specify the character set, your page can be hacked. In fact, if you don't put the character set tag e.g. as the first line of your HEAD element, your page can be at risk. HTML5 makes it easy to add the character set, as I showed, with a very short "meta charset" tag. But many designers don't ever define the character set. Where do you define the character sets for your web pages? Vote Now View Results
