Ok so moving on from the first post. Another way to look at this guess is meaning well formed code. To do this though you will ahve to start somewhere so i wonder if you would consider symantecs the origins of a well coded page.

Check out this page. they go back to the basics and break it down.

I agree with how you feel. Initially, I felt the same way. I do think that this post is definitely the way you want to look at it. At least at our level of programming and design. I got lost when I dug further than "a well designed site that loads faster and is easier to find in a search." For me that equals money and better sites.

I agree. I see semantic coding as a way to have well formed code that increases SEO (search engine optimization). I don't even think we need to change our ways of coding to much. This was the way I was taught anyway. I mean of couse you put a heading in a heading tag and not a div tag. Hello! By the by, could you please link to your articles and not just copy and paste them. Thanks.

Unlike that site that you were talking about in the first blog, from what I read I am on board. Mainly because I would love to look at anyone's code and understand how something was made. Or to even borrow a few bits of code from time to time. I feel that Semantic web designing is an excellent thing especially since we are starting out.

I think you and Angela both missed the whole spiel on RDF coding. The whole concept of Semantic Web is to give computers the ability to put meaning to search terms and coding.

That link goes to the W3C website so even they are aware of RDF. Now if I'm completely off then I'll happily retract my statement but RDF seems to be the backbone of semantic web.
