Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) 5 introduces new elements to HTML for the first time since the last millennium. New structural elements include aside, figure, and section. New inline elements include time, meter, and progress. New embedding elements include video and audio. New interactive elements include details, datagrid, and command.

Nothing much to add here, the article published on IBM’s website is a must-read for all of you web designers out there!

Dear Mr. Architect:

Please design and build me a house. I am not quite sure of what I need, so you should use your discretion. My house should have somewhere between two and forty-five bedrooms. Just make sure the plans are such that the bedrooms can be easily added or deleted. When you bring the blueprints to me, I will make the final decision of what I want. Also, bring me the cost breakdown for each configuration so that I can arbitrarily pick one.

This is a fragment of a funny article written by Shae Allen, who’s parodying the typical expectations of a client hiring the freelance web designer. I have to admit that, as a youngster, I have little experience in freelance work but I really enjoyed the article.
