A simple home page

This is a simple home page illustrating the use of XHTML version 1.0.

Atlantic OceanXHTML is not a whole lot different from HTML. It includes all of the usual tags such as the anchor tag for hypertext references (links) and images. Tables are still a part of the specification, but they are not necessarily intended for formatting purposes.

The transition from HTML to XHTML is simple as long as you keep in mind a number of things. First, make sure you take into account the six rules for XML syntax. Second, shy away from using stylistics tags (elements) such as bold, italics, and especially font. Third, make liberal use of the div and span elements. When used in conjunction with CSS files, you will be able to easily position and format entire blocks of text on the screen.
