Many web designers are reluctant to use HTML 5 because Internet Explorer doesn’t support it. But there is one set of new HTML 5 features that everyone should be using right now, even if 100% of your visitors use Internet Explorer as their primary browser. The new input field types. HTML 5 form input fields are a feature of HTML 5 that is fully backwards compatible. Browsers that don’t support them display a standard input text field, and browsers that do support them add very useful functionality to web page forms.
By using the various new HTML 5 input fields, you can create forms that work now, and will work better later.

Example: /index.php/%postname%/
Your URL will look like: http://yourdomain.com/index.php/your-post-name.
