<img src="/images/misc/microformats.gif" style="float: right; padding: 0 0 1em 1em;" /> <p> I was just browsing around <a href="http://www.microformats.org/">Microformats.org</a> and came across the acronym <a href="http://microformats.org/wiki/posh"><acronym title="Plain-Old Semantic HTML">POSH</acronym></a>, which I now love. </p> <dl class="term-definition"> <dt><acronym title="Plain-Old Semantic HTML">POSH</acronym></dt> <dd>Plain-Old Semantic HTML</dd> </dl> <p> It's a nice, casual acronym to throw around when talking about something that everyone should be doing already; authoring well-structured documents that are rich with semantic information. </p> <p> From the <a href="http://microformats.org/wiki/posh">wiki entry:</a> </p> <blockquote> <p> The term semantic-html is a mouthful, and belies both how simple it is, how well established it is among modern web designers, and the fact that it has benefits far beyond the obvious doing the right thing for the Web by using semantic markup. We need a simple short mnemonic term that captures the essence of the concept, and is easily verbed (to posh, poshify, poshed up). </p> </blockquote> <p> The wiki entry has few useful bits to it with links related to process, a simple checklist, references and other resources. </p> <p> <a href="http://microformats.org/wiki/posh">Check <acronym title="Plain-Old Semantic HTML">POSH</acronym></a> out. </p> 2008-09-01T11:59:48Z 3 your-site-is-soooo-posh
