Yesterday I promised to blog about my work with HTML5 and a major .nl website. The website in question is radio1.nl and early this morning I relaunched the site. Response has been very positive so far.

HTML will become the new language of the web and it supports much more open standards than before. This is especially good for the public broadcasters, who are funded with public money and therefore aim to keep all their content in an open format.

The ‘testlab’ blog from the public broadcasters picked up the story as well. It turns out my efforts are the first major website making this switch. I plan to deliver all new websites in HTML5 from now on, and gradually relaunch all current website later this year. So far there have been few hickups and nothing I couldn’t fix with a few lines of markup/javascript.
