Description (Last modified by Nicolas)

Use CSS instead of HTML for formatting where possible

  • clean up white.css
  • improve the look
  • develop alternative looks (perhaps with the curiously popular rounded corners).

Source: DevProjects

Breaking it down in individual tasks:

  • Use heading tags in the correct order.
  • Get rid of many table-based layouts, like the header on top of all pages (it's a table with two cells, one for the header, and another as placeholder for a logo).
  • Get rid of all <font> and <center> tags. I don't think there is any appropriate exception to this.
  • Use semantic elements. For example, replace <span class="title"> with an <h2> element (or whatever appropriate level), <td class="heading"> with <th>, etc.
  • Use more meaningful CSS class names, saying what the element is, not what it should look like. A class named 'smalltext' is useless if somebody makes it have big text. 'forum-description' is a lot better.
