After far too long procrastinating (actually I’ve been quite busy) I’ve finally posted a new experiment over on HTML5 Laboratory.
Focusing on the cache manifest file and how to set your application up to be available offline, I hope you find using the cache manifest file informative.
As usual, feel free to comment on the experiment itself, or leave a comment here.
My latest blog entry over at PC Pro is up. As the name suggests, adding audio to your website with HTML5 describes, in the simplest way, how to add embedded audio files to your website using HTML5.
There are more advanced techniques with JavaScript that give you access to the audio API, but I intend to cover that in a future blog post, and the same goes for video.
As the first of the HTML5 books to come out, and the first book to be released by A Book Apart, the eagerly awaited HTML5 For Web Designers by Jeremy Keith is a very easy read.
My latest blog post over on PC Pro is up. Seven of the best HTML5 resources where I list my recommended online resources for getting started with, or learning more about, HTML5.
As usual, feel free to let me know what you think, either in this blog or over at PC Pro.
I have taken Derek Punsalan’s Grid Focus WordPress theme (which is the theme used on this blog, although it’s slightly modified) and converted it to HTML5.
With Derek’s permission, this conversion is now available to download from this site.
Derek’s original works in WordPress 2.6+ and I can confirm that it works in WordPress 3.0.1.
Let me know what you think!
I have spent some time today converting the WordPress theme that I use for this blog, the excellent Grid Focus by Derek Punsulan, into HTML5. As of today, this blog is now HTML5 compliant.
It’s the first time I’ve delved into the world of WordPress theming, and I was pleasantly surprised how simple it is. Next step is to create my own from scratch, but I am looking forward to that.
Unfortunately one of the plugins that I use, SocioFluid generates invalid code, using deprecated elements and attributes. So this part doesn’t validate at all. I must look into an alternative. If you have any in mind, please let me know.
I’ve also converted my Decimal to Roman Numerals script into PHP for use in the copyright date in the footer.
