No, I'm suggesting that if you truly want to learn html5 semantics you need to build a site without divs. Once you understand the semantics you can better understand why you would use the new tags and why you would fall back to divs. But to continue working with divs that have semantic class nam

Tom, HTML5 allows for the use of the elements header, footer, and aside in multiple instances. For example, an article could have a header and footer: Article title August 12, 2010
