There is a new article on the Madmouse Blog, “Creating structure using Unordered Lists” which introduces a proof of concept of using lists instead of divisions to write down the structure of a website layout. The article shows how it is it to be done, describes its purpose and points out few advantages of using it. It also presents a WordPress theme that fully utilizes this concept so that you can have a look at it in action. Using this method results in code that is very clean and efficient, optimized, light weight and most importantly code that is well formed which can result in better optimization of the HTML code and lead an SEO advantage.
If you are interested in seeing what we are up to with this concept, <URL SNIPPED>please click here or visit the Madmouse Blog.
Our new WordPress theme using this concept is called, <URL SNIPPED>Golden Age
Looking forward of your feedback.

Apart from being semantic nonsense, it requires unnecessarily bloated CSS to style the lists.

ul {
margin: 0; padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
}
After that, everything else is styled as would normally be done.
Please explain how or give me an example of why it is nonsense?
I think it doesn't make a difference when compared to div's. If he wants to make his point, a good test would be to recreate a 'css zen garden' page. I'm sure it's possible and it would help him explain his point. Then it would be possible to compare them and test the differences (div vs. ul/li).

Please explain how coding a CSS Zen theme will prove our point?
in my opinion a lot of coders think of this of a great resource. If you can show you can achieve the same with your concept, you may get more recognition. You state that it is about html, and not css. without css, using ul/li doesn't make sense at all. (your last post shows css, not html)

It is ranking #233 for "blog tips" and #50 for "ethical SEO" in Google. It is ranking #1 for spunky jones and spunkyjones in Google as well. about 1/2 of the articles are ranking on the first page of Google as well.
I am a designer and have some basic knowledge in HTML. My coder is the expert in the HTML department and when he approached me with this concept, I listened and decided to try it.
So far it seems to be working very well, and I am very pleased with the results so far. The test site is Spunky Jones Blog tips for Ethical Bloggers.
Yes, you are correct that if I can prove this concept more people will be have more interest to look at it.
