Roger Johansson has some sensible and simple tips for semantic HTML — something we should all be doing — in his post POSH – Plain Old Semantic HTML. Here are just a couple, but head over to his post for the rest:

  • Use heading elements (h1 – h6) for headings, and make sure they create a logical outline of the document.
  • For images, make proper use of The alt and title attributes.
  • Use HTML list elements (ul, ol, dl) to mark up lists.
  • Use the em and strong elements for emphasis, not to make text bold or italic (i.e. do not mindlessly replace i and b with em and strong).
