The “Main” Element
I’ve been using HTML5 tags for at least three years now and still have to deal with disputes regarding the use of the <section></section> element. I prefer to wrap my main content such as blog posts and sidebars within the section area. The blog posts are wrapped in the article tag and my sidebar is in the aside tag. I like to think of that particular group as an individual section of the web page. An area that is not part of the header, or footer tags. Some would consider this approach as incorrect markup, and that I should do it this way or that way. I don’t really care at this point. With all of the bitching and cat fighting that goes on, I’m starting to see the glass as “half empty”.
