  • WordPress Theme Authors, Don’t Forget The wp_head() Function
    • ]]>     Dustin Diaz recently posted about skinny doctypes, which basically boiled down to:

    <!doctype html>

    Folks in the comments pointed out that this is the doctype that HTML 5 uses. I’d only been glancing at HTML 5 from time to time, but this got me to look at it a little bit closer. I went to the W3C Validator to see what the minimum HTML 5 document looked like. Here’s the smallest document that still validated:

    <!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

    Now this is what I’m talking about, simple and to the point.

    The validator does give one warning for this document, but it’s simply to mention that HTML 5 conformance is still experimental.
