 | The new HTML5 DATA element might be confusing, but today's headliner article explains how it differs from the older CODE element. Plus there is an article on microdata and microformats and how to add even more metadata to your web content. And if one of your resolutions for 2012 is to kickstart your web design freelancing career, I have a lot of articles that can help you.

The Difference Between the HTML5 DATA and CODE Elements
The new HTML5 DATA element might seem to be very similar to the CODE element from HTML 4, but it really is very different. The DATA element allows you to tie the contents of your page even more tightly to scripts even if that data is written in a way that scripts normally couldn't parse.
| What is Microdata?
But you don't want to surround all your content in DATA tags because it's not all data. That's where microformats come in. Microformats help you define the content of your pages as specific things beyond just data and let that information be machine-readble as well.
| Getting Started Freelancing
Freelancing is a popular way to work as a web designer. It lets you be your own boss, choose your clients, and work the hours that you want to work (plus many other benefits). And my website can help you. I have written many articles on freelance web design to help you learn how to build your business and thrive in an exciting field.
| Poll: Do you create new versions of your site for holidays?
Decorating your websites for the holidays may seem like a lot of extra effort, or it may be crucial to how your site functions. Every year, right around my birthday I start feeling like a Scrooge because once again I have not done anything to decorate my sites for the holidays. Of course, since my birthday is in the middle of December, it also feels almost too late to do anything, which is probably the other reason I don't. And the real reason is because I'm afraid that I'll get too busy with other things and I'll notice sometime in February that the festive lights and holly berries on my sites look a little out of date.
