These have reasonable HTML and CSS.</p> <p>I have a few general principles for working with HTML and CSS. First, modern culture claims that HTML is for content and CSS is for styling. This is nonsense. Both HTML and CSS are for layout, don't think of them as being conceptually different. Just use both in the simplest possible way to get the results you want. Don't bother with the useless new HTML5 content tags like <code>header</code>. Just use <code>div</code> and <code>span</code> for most things. Also I use HTML attributes as selectors, not HTML classes. This is just simpler. HTML classes are useless, leave them for modern culture.</p>
