I really like Retooling Slashdot with Web Standards from A List Apart. I hope to apply this process to my own site one of the days.
The basic process for the retooling was as follows:
- Strip out all non-essential tags.
- Add semantic markup.
- Group data in boxes.
- Add layout markup.
- Apply unique style attributes.
My templates and stylesheets could use a serious pruning. Most of them are bastardized copies of the original MT templates and I’ve added a lot of cruft. Taking this approach would allow me to optimize the pages and would be a good learning experience. Hope to do it soon.
