#What Is Semantic HTML

[racke7]

Exam hit me with two concept that I've literally never heard of (or at least never been explained to me).

"semantic html" -> the <> with things like "img" and other clearly-defined content to them.

"dependency injection" -> a method that receives objects, instead of creating them from scratch (aka, literally how all of our programming is done).

Thankfully, they only amount to 15% of the exam-result, so hopefully I'll still pass?

you should make a website!

"my favorite social media site is shutting down!"

"the CEO of the site i use just committed another atrocity!"

"i want a webspace that's all my own!"

if any of these sound like you (and if you're on tumblr, i know at least one applies) you should make your own website!

why make a website?

incredibly customizable

you can put whatever you want on it

it's, well, your own! like a house you build with your own hands

things you'll need

a computer. you can maybe get away with doing this on a mobile device, but i have zero experience there

a code editor. i like VScodium, which is a de-microsoft-ed version of VScode.

a will to learn ;)

site hosting

neocities. everyone knows neocities. at this point i do feel like it's become a bit too centralized, but it's a good option nonetheless. do note that there are filetype restrictions for free users, but that shouldn't be a huge issue for most. what may be an issue, though, is that there's a content security policy that prevents sites made after jan 1st, 2024 to use outside scripts. also, you have to pay to use your own domain

nekoweb. similar to neocities, but there's no filetype restrictions or a content security policy. some differences are outlined in the FAQ (thinking about moving here... i am a traitor...) i'm not sure if domain support is free or paid.

github pages or codeberg pages. you'll need an understanding of git for this

pages.gay: run by besties.house, uses git

teacake: free hosting is currently closed, but paid hosting starts at 2 bucks a month.

leprd.space: i know next to nothing about this.

a web server. don't recommend this if you don't know computer stuff but it is an option (you'll likely have to provide your own domain though)

gripes & solutions (?)

i'm not comfortable maintaining pages in pure HTML / templating with JS sucks!

with a static site generator, you can write pages in markdown and they'll be converted into HTML and (if you'd like) be put into a template of your choosing. my personal choice is 11ty but there are tons of options!

static site generators can be a bit of a learning curve (and you will have to write some html for templating) but if you're making a lot of pages or blogging regularly it's something to consider

there are starters for 11ty online but i might make a more beginner-proofed starter and/or guide in the future? don't count on it

i don't want to write/maintain CSS

simpleCSS is a tiny CSS file you can use to make semantic HTML ("naked" HTML) look nice. it's got decent customization options too. it's not particularly fancy or opinionated, but it's a good starting point if you need something

i don't know what to put on my website!

small list of ideas:

weblog

art/writing/music gallery

movie/show/book tracker

place to store bookmarks/links

scary! i'm scared!

my askbox/messages/e-mail inbox/etc. are open to anyone who'd like to ask for help!

Hi, Mr Prokopetz, I'm a big fan. Apologies if you've answered this before, but I was wondering what software you use to create the pdf and epub layouts of your ttrpgs, and whether you'd recommend it to a hobbyist who wants to try putting together something more professional than a gdoc for their own ttrpg?

My workflow is unfortunately not terribly accessible unless you have a fair amount of technical know-how.

In brief, I write all of my games in Notepad++ as HTML documents, taking care to use only the subset of HTML5 tags which are supported by most popular EPUB readers. I then use Calibre (or, more, precisely, the command-line utility that comes with Calibre, though you can get mostly the same results via the GUI) to bundle the HTML document as an EPUB3 file. I typically distribute both the HTML and EPUB versions (the former in a zipfile with all of the fonts and images and such) because web browsers tend to have much better screen-reader support than EPUB apps do.

The PDF, meanwhile, is generated from the same master HTML document using CSS paged media extensions – the layout is all generated automatically based on rules specified in a big, gnarly CSS file, and is never touched by human hands. There are a number of software packages which can do this sort of CSS-driven HTML-to-PDF conversion, some of them free or open source; I use a commercial product called Prince because, to the best of my knowledge, it's the only such software which has out-of-the-box support for PDF/UA semantic tagging (i.e., the stuff you need to do in order to make your PDFs screen-reader friendly), but you have more options if you're willing to tag your PDFs manually. (I am not.)

As for whether I'd recommend doing it this way? Like I said, unless you're a proper gearhead, not really; it's super efficient once you get it all set up – the only version of the game I actually maintain is the master HTML document, and generating updated versions of all the other formats is a one-click affair – but it's really only feasible for me because I already knew how to all that workflow automation stuff for unrelated reasons. I can't imagine teaching yourself all that from scratch just to write elfgames!

Caitriona didn’t mention Tony. Seems the ‘reporter’ utilized Google. 😂

Dear Didn't Mention Anon,

It's always a sarcastic pleasure to see tension climbing for literally nothing across the street. Some other Brazilian Anon, just like you (best way to convey your thoughts was, in proper English, 'the reporter used Google' - not the Portuguese semantic calque 'utilized'...), even speculated we must be hiding this shattering press article, since no reaction and/or discussion happened as of yet.

Brazilian Anons would certainly have made better use of their time and grey cells if they simply presumed that in another time zone people really have other (simple and boring and prehaps even endearing) things to do. While Brazilan Anons were probably sleeping or having breakfast, someone else was just about to end a shorter Friday work schedule, buy Chinese takeaway on the way home, have a light lunch, take out Baby the Lab for a short pee stroll around the block. And mercifully collapse in flannel sheets for a blessed siesta, waiting for the first snowy day of the year. But enough about me, Anon, you are not here for this: you are here for that article - https://www.mindfood.com/article/caitriona-balfe-looks-ahead-to-life-after-outlander/

It is also an amusing factoid that C's PR and/or *** very often seem to favor second-tier media outlets in order to keep spreading around the Narrative Word. Pinoy regional gazettes, borderline clickbait/gossip websites and now Mindfood, a vanity/hybrid press magazine based and edited in New Zealand and Australia by McHugh Media Group, which main activity, at least in Oz, is (🥁🥁)...paper mills and paper manufacturing - of course.

[Source: https://www.dnb.com/business-directory/company-profiles.mchugh_media_australia_pty_limited.6ded585ed8e21b347589059682b44143.html]

Within that group, the Mindfood project is but an apparently lucrative subsidiary ('integrated media company', LOL), despite some dire client reviews ( 2 out of a resounding global 3, how odd!) on Google:

'Rank amateur's' [sic!] (...) What sort of magazine publisher doesn't have a manned office? (...) They'll go broke very quickly like that.' '(...)pretty shabby treatment of a customer.'

😱😱😱

But let's assume I am twisting again the plot (I don't, I do not need to). Let's assume I am evil like that and I give credence to two very negative (but brutally clear, too) user reviews only. Perhaps I am wrong, you might say. So, let's also have a look at some company figures, shall we?

Nay contest, it's them.

[Source: https://rocketreach.co/mchugh-media-profile_b5d2097af42e3bbb]

Now, my lovelies, how can I put it without offending anyone? What we are looking at, here, is a small company with 5 (five) employees, few web hits (164.480 hits is ridiculous, when we are talking about press/media!), but a comfortable revenue (7 million AUD - about 4.5 million USD). May I remind you that a company's revenue is roughly its gross income, before subtracting operating costs, wages and taxes. But given they have only 5 employees, wage expenses & operating costs must be marginal and taxes are rather friendly in New Zealand, where their HQ is (to the point there was, three years ago, an ongoing debate in order to determine if the country was a tax haven: https://thespinoff.co.nz/business/06-10-2021/is-nz-a-tax-haven-for-the-rich-and-dodgy-the-pandora-papers-reignite-the-debate), you do the maths. Therefore, how can this rather substantial profit be explained, otherwise than by a very friendly editorial policy towards paid and/or sponsored content and product placement galore (Lifestyle, anyone)?

Its immediate competitor is a supermarket chain in-house bulletin/leaflet, Campbell's Cash & Carry. The kind of thing that always lands somehow in your shopping bag and then directly in the kitchen trash:

This is enough to show their real reach and place on the market, I believe.

All this for what, Madam Knife? All this to say that paper is probably paid by the talent's PR/***. I will not go into useless detail, because there is very few new-ish/relevant information (e.g.: 'With a long season seven concluding in January, the Outlander epic will close out within the next 18 months, taking the episode total to 101. '). But I will, gleefully even, point out two tiny details, all of you patiently read this long rant for, in fact.

As always, McGill doesn't even deserve a quote, only reported speech that is, in fact, snowballing prior reference (this is exactly where copy/paste comes in very handy, you see). And a clumsy one at that, sugar on top - hence the copy/paste certainty and this is so, so rude, I could cry (nope...):

But... but... such a nice, thoughtful touch for her Stans, who spent DAYS in a row proving he was not a music producer, but the Night Media Manager (and I have to say, delivered actual quotes - still No Face, No Name, No Number, though):

[Tait rhymes with hate, alright - I know, darlings, it pisses you off to no tomorrow 😉.]

Copy paste/Goes to waste. Finally, I had to snort (not a pretty, nor feminine sight) when I realized Mindfood takes its readers for complete, amnesic idiots:

So she became 'a mother in August of 2021', but she did film 'the sixth season of the drama while pregnant'. Granted, this paper is written for casual OL viewers, the kind of people who did find C interesting/beautiful/clever/extraordinary, but who don't remember her name when prompted on candid camera, for example. The kind of superficial audience who will never do the maths and never question the fact a pregnant actress was filming beautiful (but steamy) scenes with her... ahem... with her co-star she is now 'consciously uncoupling' from.

ROFLMAO.

Not even sorry for the length, Anon. There you go, let's say good bye with a merry little song - I am told I have the best tunes on Tumblr (SMH). Really, Mindfood's client could have curated and tailored better the Retconning Operation - but perhaps even PR has trouble taking that man and his narrative role seriously?

hii alice! i'm very slowly trying to teach myself html/css by making a neocities, (what i have so far can be seen here, it's not much i know) and i was just wondering if you had any useful tips/resources? :0 your neocities is very cool (i was reminded by that other person that asked about it yesterday) so i thought i would ask <3 i'm already using mozilla webdocs and w3schools, but do you have any other recommendations?

i don't really know a lot about html/css yet, (i don't have a ton of coding experience, most of what i've done has been in python) and so i don't really know how html/css should be "structured", if that makes sense.

any help or pointers are appreciated! ty in advance <3 peace

Your neocities looks great! Especially for a beginner!

Things to look into:

For learning, I'd recommend learning more about semantic design- w3schools

Also, do some studying up on the box model! this website I found seems to have a lot of good information- box model

I'd also look into CSS classes- w3schools

Also, the fastest way for you to learn coding is to... look at other people's code! Go onto neocities, scroll till you see a page you like, and then inspect element the shit out of it >:3c Even if it doesn't make sense at first to you, looking at a lot of code can help you learn new ways of doing things!

blogs u should take a look at: Drakul78, moonview, twelvemen, and nyaa!

OK so for code analysis:

Overall: I like your website a lot! It's simple, it's cute, and it's functional. These are tips for when you want to "upgrade" your site, but as is, it works great :3c

I like to avoid putting traits other than background onto "body", since it severely limits what you can do with your website. (If you wanted to have multiple boxes on screen, for example, you can't do that...)

Also, the contrast between the background and the text is a little too low for my liking, but your text is nice and large so it's not too much of an issue. If you are going to make your text smaller though, you'll need to change those colors.

You already are using semantic design elements in your website, which is really good! Also, using style.css instead of putting it into the page itself is also really good practice.

Ideas for the future:

This is very subjective, but I feel like you are using your website like someone might use a caard. It's pretty, but each page is static, and links to another static page! You can merge a lot of this information into your index- such as credits/links :3c

FONTS! FONTS! FONTS! there are so many beautiful fonts in this world, and with google fonts, you can easily apply them all to your website!! ( •̀ ω •́ )✧ google fonts

also, since you mentioned you were a coder- I'd recommend setting up a way for you to use vscode to edit your page! One of my friends wrote some git code for me that makes it so I can edit my page without making a billion changes to it in quick succession. I'll ask them if I can share it with you if that would interest you, and I could make a separate post on my visual studio code layout if you are curious :3c

HTML Tutorial: A Quick Overview

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) forms the backbone of web development, enabling the structure and presentation of content on the web. It’s a markup language that defines elements like headings, paragraphs, links, images, lists, and more, providing a standardized way to format and display information in browsers.

HTML uses tags, enclosed in angle brackets, to represent different types of content. Each tag typically comes in pairs, an opening tag and a closing tag, to wrap and describe the content in between. HTML is fundamental for building web pages, allowing developers to create structured documents with defined sections and multimedia elements.

One of HTML’s key features is its ability to create links, connecting different parts of the web. This hyperlinking capability is what makes HTML unique, forming the web as we know it today. Additionally, HTML supports embedding multimedia like images, videos, and audio, which brings pages to life.

As web standards evolve, HTML has grown, too, with the latest version being HTML5. This version introduced new elements that provide semantic meaning to the structure of web documents, ensuring that content is more accessible and well-organized.

Understanding HTML: The Building Blocks of the Web

In the vast landscape of the internet, HTML stands as the foundation upon which the digital world is built. From simple static web pages to dynamic interactive experiences, HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) plays a pivotal role in shaping the online landscape. Let's embark on a journey to demystify HTML and understand its significance in the realm of web development.

What is HTML?

HTML is a markup language used to create the structure and content of web pages. It consists of a series of elements, or tags, that define the various components of a web page, such as headings, paragraphs, images, links, and more. These elements are enclosed within angled brackets (< >) and typically come in pairs, with an opening tag and a closing tag, sandwiching the content they define.

The Anatomy of HTML:

Tags: Tags are the building blocks of HTML and serve as the basic units of structure. They encapsulate content and provide semantic meaning to different parts of a web page. Common tags include <html>, <head>, <title>, <body>, <h1> (heading), <p> (paragraph), <img> (image), <a> (anchor/link), and many more.

Attributes: Tags can also contain attributes, which provide additional information about the element. Attributes are specified within the opening tag and consist of a name and a value. For example, the <img> tag may include attributes such as src (source) to specify the image file and alt (alternative text) for accessibility purposes.

Nesting: HTML elements can be nested within one another to create hierarchical structures. This nesting allows for the organization and hierarchy of content, such as placing lists within paragraphs or dividers within sections.

Document Structure: Every HTML document begins with a <!DOCTYPE> declaration, followed by an <html> element containing <head> and <body> sections. The <head> section typically contains metadata and links to external resources, while the <body> section contains the visible content of the web page.

The Role of HTML in Web Development:

HTML serves as the backbone of web development, providing the structure and semantics necessary for browsers to interpret and render web pages correctly. Combined with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) for styling and JavaScript for interactivity, HTML forms the core technology stack of the World Wide Web.

Conclusion:

In essence, HTML is the language of the web, enabling the creation of rich and immersive digital experiences. Whether you're a seasoned web developer or a newcomer to the world of coding, understanding HTML is essential for navigating the intricacies of web development. Embrace the power of HTML, and embark on a journey to craft compelling narratives and experiences in the ever-evolving digital realm.

Build with the power of code without writing any - Webflow

When you start a business, having a website is primordial. It’s useful to promote your products but also to introduce to your audience new products you made, what are your goals, and why you created this business/brand. But building a website without knowing how to program is quite difficult, even impossible for certain people. It happens to me. It was hard when you don’t know where to start. Then I discovered Webflow, that’s why I want to introduce this website to you.

Webflow allows you to take control of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in visual canvas, generating clean and semantic code that’s ready to publish or to give to developers. It’s a cloud-based, “software as a service” (SaaS) design tool that runs in a web browser. The principle is easy: you design the website, and they generate the code, for everything from fully custom layouts to complex animations.

Webflow: https://webflow.grsm.io/website_creation

You can design a site from scratch in Webflow, but if you’d rather use a template and make it your own, you can choose from over 2,000 in the Webflow template library. Webflow’s templates are presented in various categories — for example, portfolios, design, blogs, medical, and e-commerce. The templates are of very high quality; they are modern and aesthetically pleasing. They include pre-built elements like data capture forms, background videos, and online store pages — and all of these are fully customizable.

SEO-Ready Development: What Agencies Do from Day One

In today’s digital world, your website isn’t just your online storefront—it’s your gateway to organic traffic, leads, and long-term growth. And for that to happen, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) can’t be an afterthought. It needs to be built into the foundation of your website from day one.

That’s why a professional Web Development Company doesn’t just focus on clean code and visual design. They prioritize technical SEO during the development process, ensuring your site is fully optimized before it even goes live. This approach saves time, avoids costly rework, and sets your business up for better visibility from the start.

So what exactly does “SEO-ready development” mean? Let’s dive into what top agencies do right from day one.

1. SEO-Friendly Site Architecture

One of the first things agencies do is map out a logical, crawlable site structure. A well-planned architecture helps both users and search engines navigate your site with ease.

This includes:

Creating a clear hierarchy of pages (homepage > category > product)

Limiting click depth (no important page should be more than 3 clicks away)

Structuring URLs to be clean and keyword-relevant

Planning internal linking to distribute page authority effectively

When your site is structured well, Google bots can crawl and index your content more efficiently—and users can find what they need faster.

2. Clean, Crawlable Code

Web development teams ensure your site is built using clean, semantic HTML. This helps search engines understand your content and rank it appropriately.

Best practices include:

Using proper heading tags (<h1>, <h2>, etc.) to define content hierarchy

Avoiding excessive inline styles or JavaScript that hides content

Using alt tags for images and aria labels for accessibility

Structuring content with schema markup (more on that below)

Clean code reduces rendering issues, supports faster indexing, and improves accessibility—a key ranking factor in modern SEO.

3. Fast Load Times from Day One

Site speed is a critical ranking factor, especially on mobile. SEO-ready development means optimizing performance early—before launch.

Development teams use:

Minified CSS, JavaScript, and HTML

Lazy loading for images and videos

Optimized server configurations and CDN integration

Image compression and next-gen formats (WebP)

These improvements don’t just help SEO—they create better user experiences, reduce bounce rates, and improve conversion.

4. Mobile-First and Responsive Design

With Google’s mobile-first indexing, a mobile-optimized website isn’t optional—it’s essential. Agencies design with responsive frameworks that adapt content across screen sizes, ensuring consistent performance.

This includes:

Scalable typography and flexible grid layouts

Touch-friendly elements and simplified navigation

Responsive media queries and breakpoint testing

Your mobile site needs to be just as fast and user-friendly as your desktop version to maintain rankings and retain visitors.

5. SEO Metadata and Tags Implementation

From the earliest sprints, developers ensure that every page supports the proper:

Title tags

Meta descriptions

Canonical tags

Open Graph tags for social sharing

Robots meta tags for crawl control

These tags are essential for controlling how your site appears in search results and avoiding duplicate content issues.

6. Schema Markup and Structured Data

Structured data helps search engines understand your content in context. Development companies implement schema.org markup to qualify your site for rich snippets—such as:

Product details

FAQs

Reviews and ratings

Events or courses

These enhancements improve click-through rates and boost visibility on the SERP.

7. Optimized URL Structures

A good SEO strategy starts with user-friendly URLs. Agencies create URLs that are:

Short and readable

Contain target keywords

Use hyphens instead of underscores

Avoid unnecessary parameters or IDs

Example: ✅ yoursite.com/seo-services ❌ yoursite.com/index.php?id=123

Clean URLs make it easier for both users and search engines to understand what the page is about.

8. XML Sitemaps and Robots.txt Configuration

At launch, development teams generate and submit a comprehensive XML sitemap to help search engines find and index all your pages. They also configure a robots.txt file to control crawler access and prevent indexing of irrelevant or sensitive areas like admin dashboards or cart pages.

9. Analytics and Tracking Setup

Finally, SEO-ready development includes installing:

Google Analytics

Google Search Console

Tag management tools (like GTM)

Event tracking for key conversions

This ensures your marketing team has the data they need to track organic performance and optimize future content.

Conclusion

An SEO-friendly website isn’t something that happens after launch—it’s something that’s built from the ground up. From architecture and performance to metadata, schema, and mobile design, every decision made during development can either boost or block your visibility in search results.

That’s why partnering with a Web Development Company that understands technical SEO is crucial. When SEO is integrated into every layer of your site from day one, you don’t just launch—you rank, engage, and grow.
