Title: Check your site's DNA
Post by: toyotaTRD on January 14, 2007, 08:26:49 AM
Well, I saw it by luck yesterday but it's interesting.

How it works
WEB2DNA will take you website, analyze it, crunch it to little bits and spit it out as a graphic representation of a human DNA.

The brightness of the lines is determined by the importance of the tags in terms of structure.

H1 is brighter than H2, which is brighter than H3.
TABLE is brighter than TR, which is brighter than TD tags.
Images and flash elements appear as 70% white.
New HTML tags like STRONG and EM is brighter than older ones like B and I
UL, OL and DL is brighter than their LI, DT, DD
DIV layout is brighter than table layout
Basically a semantically rich site will appear brighter than one with messy old-style code.

You can also determine the richness of text on a site. A site the focuses on (text) content is one where the DNA patterns is large (filling many containers), but contains a lot of empty spaces between the lines (empty space is the individual words).

It also works for me but in one of my sites I see very few "dna-lines" (I don't remember at all how is their scientific name, several years past when I learned about them at school). Tinyportal.net has also few lines.

That means less use of header tags etc. Check simplemachines.org..a few more there.

I really need to make both this site and TP up to speed on semantic HTML :).
