I learned html 4 and now that their is html 5 I'm trying to decide if I really need to learn the new tags. I already know html 4, so should I learn html 5's new tags?

There aren't that many new tags to learn. That said, there is still limited browser support for it.

[toxifyshadow]

So are you saying that isn't a good idea?

If you know HTML 4 (pretty much required now), you'll know 99% of HTML 5. If you start using HTML5 for show OGG Theora videos, however, you might get disappointed when people complain that your site is broken.

Ok, I will wait until more browsers support it becuase I doubt my browser will, I have an older version of opera for the Wii, and that doesn't support much.

I don't think HTML 5 exist? I thought only HTML 4.5 did exist?
Check out W3Schools Online Web Tutorials, and I guess you'll find it there somewhere.

There isn't many new tags in HTML 5, but the new tags that are coming w/ HTML 5 im kind of excited for :D

Easier implanting audio/video into websites will be nice.

HTML 5 does exist

HTML 5 exists, but its not implemented heavily and not nearly support entirely by browsers yet; apparently wont be supported by browsers for a long time either.
