Internal Structure, and Semantics

[StevenBlack]

• Category: information architecture
• Sub-Category: Future discoverability, digests, and SEO
• The Problem: Currently the site does not use HTML semantics as well as it could. This is easy to fix within Jekyll templates.

Discussion: For full-value in the future, it would be helpful if the site used more than one level of heading tags to distinguish semantic structure . Currently h2 headings are used to delineate days, and that's it.

It will help search (and therefore discoverability) if search bots are able to better infer and structure site contents, and header nesting is one way to convey meaningful semantics.

Proposal: Daily sub-segments should be built with h3 tags, and things like Updates should use h4 tags. Consider using HTML 5 aside elements to structure the sidebar-like sections.

The following is captured using Chris Pedrick's Web Developer Toolbar Extension. This is the current structure of the site:

These are great suggestions. I literally just merged this repo into the archive repo. Would you mind reposting this issue and https://github.com/mkiser/wtfsource/issues/5 here: https://github.com/mkiser/WTFJHT
