    HTML5 - use it or leave it?

    Ok, it's been a few years since I hand coded any sites. I have been working with Word Press lately. Now I find myself wondering if adopting html5 is a good idea for new low maintenance tiny sites, or if sticking with XHTML is the way to go?
    Ideas? Suggestions?

    I don't know if you have seen it but I have placed a video here about HTML5; it is a few years old so things have gotten better regarding support etc., but the info is still good.
    Cheers,
    Keith

    Hi there Keith,

    I also am unable to view it, but then I've always been underprivileged.

    I can, though, still report spammers.
