# SemPress
A WordPress theme, highly semantic, HTML5 templates, responsive and seo optimized. SemPress supports most of the new HTML5 tags, the new HTML5 input-types, microformats, microformats v2 and microdata (Schema.org).
## POSH - Plain old Semantic HTML
From the [micrormats wiki](http://microformats.org/wiki/posh):
> The term semantic-html is a mouthful, and belies both how simple it is, how well established
> it is among modern web designers, and the fact that it has benefits far beyond the obvious doing
> the right thing for the Web by using semantic markup. We need a simple short mnemonic term that
> captures the essence of the concept, and is easily verbed (to posh, poshify, poshed up).
SemPress is fully HTML5 compatible and uses a lot of the new tags, semantics and input-types.
