Semantic HTML5 and proper use of tags

I'm trying to develop a base for a blog using some of the new tags introduced in HTML5 and I want to not only make sure I'm using them correctly, but my code is also semantic.

Here is just the 'sample' document.

page title

    
        
            Blog title
            Blog tagline goes here
        
        
            
                Top Link
                Top Link
                Top Link
            
        
    
     commenting out so the answers still make sense -->
    
        
            
                sidebar link
                sidebar link
                sidebar link
            
        
    
    
        
            Article Header
            
                Section header
                Article section content
            
            
                Section header
                Article section content
            
            
                Section header
                Article section content

    Page footer.
    

Can anyone see any misuse of the new tags or any better - cleaner way to write this?

Quick review:

• Remove this damn `, styling is for CSS.






• In each , you better have an :-)






• You can add rel="author" to your link on the author. Even better, you can use The author's name (Google will recognize this as a "rich snippet" and show your face in google results. Take a look at http://schema.org for more information). Rich snippets are a whole other topic, so I'll stop talking about it :)




Edit after your comment:



• Each article should contain an for its article sections.






• Each article should have its title in an . Yes, even if there are multiple in the main page. If there is just the titles on the main page (no article's text), feel free to use .






• The on the frontpage is tolerated, not on the blog pages. Feel free to use it or not on the frontpage, but make sure that each blog page has the title of the post as an `, not the site's name.
