ColosseoType.com, An All-HTML5 Endeavor:
The site for the Colosseo poster is my first production-ready website with HTML5 under the hood. I’ve coded sites semantically with HTML5 class names before (see Jon Tan’s article), but this is the first with legitimate HTML5 elements such as and in the markup.
IE doesn’t yet recognize HTML5, so I’ve [...]
The malware attack(s) that my site suffered in recent weeks put into motion a series of changes which have been planned for some time now—some for a few months, some for a couple years.
What follows is a detailed explanation of the changes.
