You, sir, are at a loss. The inclusion of Zen Coding alone makes authoring markup a joy.
There’s also a Coda version if that suits your fancy.
“One thing that really annoys me is when you view a site with a lot of images and as you’re reading, the page is jumping all over the place as the images load. If you define the correct height and width attributes on image tags, then the page will render faster (less reflows) as well as allowing your users to get on with reading without disturbance whilst the images load.”
Excellent tip via camendesign. This man is the markup master. I’m continually awed by his attention to detail in all things web: it shows through his work. I came across this upon being linked from reddit to his pragmatic Video for Everybody! post. I suggest reading it if you have anything to do with a service that offers videos on the web.
Just saw Adaptation, so naturally I went online to get some background on the film. And I thought: hey, Charlie Kaufman is a wonderful human being. I wonder if he’s made an appearance on the Colbert Report. Turns out he has. I guess this isn’t timely anymore. But it is still good times.
Edit: The default Comedy Central video embed might just have the most disgusting markup I’ve ever seen. Here’s what it recommends I place in the video embed field:

Oh HTML 5, you can’t come soon enough.

I am so hot and bothered right now. I can’t wait to see how this stacks up against Coda.
