Committing to Good Markup
Solid, semantic and accessible HTML markup matters. When most people look at a web page, it doesn’t make much difference to them whether headings are coded with proper <h1> and <h1> tags or <span style=”font-size: 20px”>.

Partial solar eclipse, seen from our balcony

Sorry about the flood
