Web programming is one of many things I do, so I don't always stay up to date with the latest developments and standards for web development. Today I found "The HTML5 Boilerplate" through Smashing Magazine and I think it will be a be a fantastic starting template for my online portfolio project. It's wonderful when someone else does a lot of work to help other people out with their projects.
From the HTML5 Boilerplate site I also found the Isobar page of Code Standards. For a personal project following standards isn't integral to the process, but it's always nice to stick to conventions that are backed up by the expertise of an authority.
Now to get to work on my new portfolio site.
