From Jennifer Kyrnin, your Guide to Web Design / HTML
HTML 5 is now a working draft so more and more browsers are going to support it more widely. If you haven't started trying to learn it, now is a great time, so that you're ahead of the game when there is widespread browser support. In fact, right now, many of the features of HTML 5 are already supported in all but one of the major browsers. This week I also cover a simple tool that Google provides you to help you prove that you wrote your content and get plagiarizers to take their copies down. And Darla has a great series on XSL Formating Objects (XSL-FO) that you won't want to miss.

A free class is a great way to learn new web design techiques. I have classes on HTML, Web Design, CSS, and even XML. Check out all the free web development classes offered on my site and other About.com sites.


Get Started with HTML 5
If you've been considering learning HTML 5, now might be a great time to do so. HTML 5 is getting more support with devices, and even Internet Explorer 9 has been released in beta, so it won't be long before HTML 5 will have full browser support. But if you've been putting off learning HTML 5, you don't have much time. Luckily the tutorials and examples listed on this page will help you get started.

I don't steal content - and I can prove it
One common tactic that unscrupulous website owners will use when asked to remove copyrighted material is to demand that you prove that you wrote the content. This can seem like a difficult task, but if website is spidered by Google, there is something you can do that makes it slightly easier - view the date that Google first indexed the page. While Google may not have indexed the page on the exact date that you published it, chances are their spider saw your content well before the plagiarist did. Learn how to view dates in Google to show that your content really is your content.

Articles About XSL-FO
Extensible Stylesheet Language Formatting Object ( XSL-FO ) provides a way to format XML data for screen views or printed material. An XSL-FO file combines the formatting information with the physical data in the core XML file. It marries the two together in a new file with a template and the actual data from the XML document.

Poll: Do you use tabs in your web pages?
Adding tabs in HTML can be challenging as web browsers tend to collapse whitespace down to one character. Some people use CSS to create tabs for all sorts of things, most commonly, indenting paragraphs. Vote Now View Results
