As much as possible, the tags surrounding the content of a document should describe what that content is and/or what it’s for - mofo!

1. “Which tag should we use when?” It depends.
2. Semantics are determined by the user, and the user is not always human.
3. There isn’t a perfect HTML tag for everything and heck - sometimes the tag you think would be right might not be the best tag for a given situation.
Key take away… Think about what the content is and why you want it to look a certain way.

Carolina hooked it up yesterday and we leave at 5am tomorrow. Did I mention, that Carolina ROCKS! I’m so lucky to have such a wonderful girlfriend, but that’s a whole other blog post for a whole other website).

Sooo, Long post short - I hope to be reachable by phone or email, we’ll see but either way I’ll be back at the shop on Wednesday am.
In the mean time, check out the photos page I’ve been working on and note that I’ll either be fishing snorkeling, sunning, or chilling for the next few days south of the border.
And also note that you can see all about it back here in that photos page of mine.
