Hi Essential, News Title (h1, h2 and h3 are already being used within the page for heading and sub heading) News Date News Content That works. You might be able to get rid of that what-will-be-repetitive "news_content" class if you wrap the thing in a div (id="news"), then the CSS would be l

Hi Essential, Hi, it is going to be a list of news events and will hopefully when I figure it out print the info to RSS that's why I was thinking of the DL so it's just a list of some events rather that full news? I'm sorry, I guess I don't realy understand what you're after. I mean I underst

i would not suggest to use for "our news" cause what benefit I agree. That was just for demonstration purposes... I would certainly suggest using whatever heading would be appropriate and semantic. I didn't have that info so I created a new document and dropped the news in just so I could sh

I'd suggest this as well, normally. However, it seems like how this is going to be used is to provide a list of news articles, and since it's a list it makes sense to use a list element for it's markup. At least that's what I inferred from the initial examples. Mike at Green-Beast.com wrote:

I would say something like: News Heading News Dateline News Content could be most appropriate. The first example wouldn't really be appropriate because it is trying to create visual groups without any group being in the markup, unless you did multiple s, which st
