I posted about HTML5 preview when the first outlines appeared in December. HTML5 is in working draft now and it appears there are a lot of changes that have been introduced. Here’s a summation of some of the changes (there are simply too many to show them all):

What’s new?

• section (document structure)
• article (independent part of document - specific content)
• aside (related content)
• header
• footer
• nav (document section intended for navigation)
• dialog (for marking up conversations)
• figure (embedding objects like audio and video)
• canvas (special area for rendering graphics - i like this!)
• …

What’s going to disappear?

• basefont
• big
• center
• font
• frame
• frameset
• noframes
• …

These are only the elements, there are corresponding lists for attributes as well. See in more detail here. The changes are not final nor official. For an official specification of HTML5 it’s best to consult this page at any time.

Update: I found a site which hosts an HTML5 validator. Needless to say its “highly experimental” (to use their words), so if you are already messing with HTML5 pages this may be useful.

I just came across a great post on Photoshoproadmap.com ! It’s called The Best 80 Photoshop Text Effects on the Web , and it features a neat way for everyone to learn how to produce some very useful Photoshop effects. The picture you see on the right is actually a small portion of an 80 piece collage where each small picture actually represents an illustration of the Photoshop effect in question and links towards the corresponding tutorial on the source site.

This is a great resource, I’ve added it to my Bookmarks and have already found a couple of interesting tutorials for some cool effects I’ll be using on a current project.
