New HTML5 Tags

It will be interesting to see if HTML5, a revision of Hyper Text Markup Language, that’s the basis of the web, can fulfill its promise.  The vision is to create richer and more meaningful semantics in order to be more flexible and efficient.

Some new tags:

  • <article> tag defines an article
  • <aside> tag defines content aside from the page content
  • <audio> tag defines sound content
  • <canvas> tag defines graphics
  • <command> tag defines a command button
  • <datalist> tag defines a dropdown list
  • <details> tag defines details of an element
  • <dialog> tag defines a dialog (conversation)
  • <embed> tag defines external interactive content or plugin
  • <figure> tag defines a group of media content, and their caption
  • <footer> tag defines a footer for a section or page
  • <header> tag defines a header for a section or page
  • <hgroup> tag defines information about a section in a document
  • <keygen> tag defines a generated key in a form
  • <mark> tag defines marked text
  • <meter> tag defines measurement within a predefined range
  • <nav> tag defines navigation links
  • <output> tag defines some types of output
  • <progress> tag defines progress of a task of any kind
  • <rp> tag is used in ruby annotations to define what to show browsers that do not support the ruby element.
  • <rt> tag defines explanation to ruby annotations.
  • <ruby> tag defines ruby annotations.
  • <section> tag defines a section
  • <source> tag defines media resources
  • <time> tag defines a date/time
  • <video> tag defines a video

Hopefully these will prove to be the useful tags we hope they are.

Replacing the DIV Tag

Many old tags have gone the way of the dinosaur.  HTML5 has replaced the <DIV> tag, which lacked the ability to specify major parts of the website.  The new tags will make it much easier to navigate the code.  And for that reason, search engines will love it!

Here is a list of tags that will disappear, never to be seen again:

  • <acronym> tag defines an acronym.
  • <applet> tag defines an embedded applet.
  • <basefont> tag specifies a default font-color, font-size, or font-family for all the text in a document.
  • <big> tag is used to format the text one size bigger, and can be in relation to your <font> or <basefont> size, if you’ve specified either one.
  • <center> tag is used to center text.
  • <dir> tag is used to list directory titles.
  • <font> tag specifies the font face, font size, and font color of text.
  • <frame> tag defines one particular window (frame) within a frameset.
  • <frameset> tag defines a frameset. The frameset element holds two or more frame elements. Each frame element holds a separate document.
  • <s> and <strike> tags define strikethrough text.
  • <tt> tag is used for “typetype” text, or fixed-width typewriter-type font. Other than the different type style, it has normal font characteristics
  • <u> tag is used to underline text.

Replacing the <DIV> Tag

The <div> tag is still one of the major tags used in HTML code but it was semantically weak because of how useless it is when it comes to specifying different sections of the website structure. The new HTML5 tags such as <article>, <aside>, <nav>, <figure>, <header>, <footer> – will be much better for identifying major parts of the website and clarifying the major structure.

The Result

The hope is that the new tags and the semantics in general will raise the level of communication and cooperation between the web audience and the web technologies.  From today’s perspective these changes look awesome, but they will only stand the test of time if we all use these new innovations.

Any social network is only interesting if the people you care about are also active members.  In 2010 we are navigating a veritable sea of social connections.  Is there no end in sight?

How about getting back to your original social network — the pals, family members, coworkers and acquaintances in your e-mail address book?  With that thought in mind, Google rolled out Google Buzz , last week. Rather than starting out as an all-new service, Buzz is debuting as a feature inside Gmail.  This makes it instantly available to tens of millions of people. Users will find a link right under their inbox, letting them post to Buzz and peruse others’ activity right from their Gmail.  This allows you to interact with people you’re already in touch with via e-mail.

Some have criticized the idea as being too privacy invasive.  But its a case of the really, really good outweighing any bad. There is no character limit to  expressing yourself. You can restrict your posts to a group of people you choose, such as “Family Members”, etc. or choose to go public. Like Facebook’s Wall, if you paste a link to another Web site into a post, Buzz adds a summary to your post, complete with images. The photo-sharing feature  is especially easy to use as you can upload directly to Buzz as well as Flickr and Picasa albums.

Buzz is also available on wireless phones: Apple’s iPhone and models that uses Google’s Android software at first, with more to come. This mobile version, which resembles services such as Foursquare and Gowalla, uses your phone’s GPS and Google Maps’ mammoth database of local businesses to figure out where you are. That makes it a snap to share opinions about restaurants, stores, and other establishments.

Initial privacy concerns were expressed over Buzz’s auto following feature. However, the company moved swiftly and has now answered critics by terminating the autofollowing process altogether. Now they suggest people from your Gmail contact list: You can follow all of them, none of them, or pick and choose.

There are still a few rough spots for Buzz to overcome. You tend to read  popular posts over and over as they rise to the top of your list after an old post gets a new comment. And the yellow highlight for new comments is faint and easy to miss. The service also puts Buzz discussions it thinks you’ll want to read directly in your Gmail inbox, but gives them cryptic subject lines. As a result, it’s often tougher to find interesting stuff than it should be.  It is also very slow in grabbing and republishing your Twitter tidbits.

I’m sure Google will  continue to act swiftly to smooth out these bumps in the road. I know I am having fun Buzzing at www.google.com/profiles/mrtreyk – stop by and say Hi!

**** WordPress 3.0, the new version of  the leading blogging software is scheduled for a May release!!

So, WordPress 3.0 will include the following features:

  • MU or Multi-User option now will be available to all WordPress 3.0 users.   This is a great feature as it will allow you to manage multiple blogs with different permissions – from a single admin panel.  Awesome!
  • Attention bloggers, the  support for custom post types makes creating and managing content much easier. Categories will not disappear.
  • The Menu management features a Custom Navigation menu system that is  included into the core.  It includes many usability features like drag and drop among others, that will be in various menus.  This menu enlightens widget management, submenus system and much more.
  • There will be a  new default design theme, called 2010. A live demo is available on the official WordPress website.
This allegedly will be the WordPress 3.0 2010 default design theme

  • Custom Background and Image support system will help you create new theme for your blog in a matter of minutes.
  • WordPress 3.0 makes it possible to use the specific author templates. So, you can easily mark your own post or entry with your signature.
  • Canonical Plugins will be available in WordPress 3.0, so no worries that new releases will kill them.

We hope that some of the issues with older versions will be addressed.

Security is one of the most important features for any platform and old WordPress versions’ minimal requirements of PHP4 and MySQL4 are quite insecure. But we know that now you can easily migrate to PHP5 though this fact only solves the problem partially.

  • Chmod 777 command security risks that were one of the favorite topics to discuss for the at least several years now. According to the NerdGrind -

    This would make your WordPress installation vulnerable to a security attack. Some plugins might ask you to do this temporarily, and then ask you to change the permissions back to 755 after the plugin finishes its setup. This won’t fix your problem without adding more problems. The might allow the plugin upgrade to work, but it won’t fix the WordPress upgrade issue unless you chmod 777 the entire WordPress installation directory, which is a huge security risk, and should never be done.

  • Autosave and revisions issues that sometimes expand your database 20 times from what it was just ten minutes ago. There are some plugins for this problem but we hope this feature can be fixed on a higher level.
  • Re-installing WordPress database can cause WP database class bug. This may cause troubles for users especially considering Multi-User merging process. Hakre on WordPress states that this bug will remain in 3.0 version too.

    When a replacement class is in use, the original WPDB one will get re-created under certain circumstances instead of the replacement one. That breaks the modular DB replacement concept once introduced.

Despite some concerns, the new release is much anticipated. We all expect  WordPress 3.0 to make the web better and safer.  We’d love to hear from you about how you think WordPress 3.0 version will affect your online experience. Please share your opinions and ideas.  Thanks!
