I specify to my students that their sites must validate. We are using HTML5. The latest change (I don't disagree with it) is that the rel="lightbox' breaks validation. Why is this and can we fix it?

You may have noticed the new layout.
Thanks!
Yes all done with HTML5 and liberal doses of CSS3. Thanks to PIE, it (more or less) works OK in Internet Explorer.
I have something else to mention; I am using Google Fonts. I have opted for the very nice, 'Cantarell', designed by Dave Crossland.

CSS3 provides some neat effects, like rounded corners and shadows, but InternetExplorer (before version 9) just ignores these CSS rules.
Hopefully you are seeing the rounded corners and shadows, even if you are using Internet Explorer, because Jason Johnston has provided a solution and you can find out all about it on his web site: css3pie

The W3C have now posted up the HTML5 logo and are suggesting that if you use this new flavour of HTML, then flaunt it and add the logo to your site. So, here it is then, in a blog post.
Anyway - go and get one yourself.

Thank you Enid Blyton
Episode 1: Video on a Web Page with HTML5
I was hoping to be able to report that adding video to a web page with the new <video> tag brought to us by HTML5, would make life a lot easier. Not yet, it ain't!
I have spent a good deal of time trying to resolve a number of issues.
To a certain extent some of the problems, are my own, since I have legacy material in Quicktime .mov format, and I was reluctant to go back and convert. However, a splendid batch process has resolved this for me...
