nairaland is probably built on top a cms framework. Also they probably use a CDN and minimize their code for speed.

The only problem I had with viewing nl source code was that it had no spacing... dirty coders.

Your observation is quite sound!...

Well, but i think they don't have time to go over and start recoding the whole thing... I just can't tell for sure why..

But meeeeen, html 5 is the new bang in town!

It is the FUTURE in web designing....

Cleaner coding...

Simple doctype....

Caching....

Audio and video support...

Just to mention but a few!..

Christ! You really need to read [url=w3programs.com/top-7-benefits-of-using-html5-over-html4/]TOP 7 BENEFITS OF USING HTML5 OVER HTML4[/url] to see for yourself.

[url=w3programs.com/top-7-benefits-of-using-html5-over-html4/]Html5[/url] combined with css3 is bomblast!

Don't let us forget about browser support for html5. Though you can manoeuvre your way with extra codes but still does not applies to all.

Still, it is better to use html5 wisely now so that when browser support is very much widely supported it can easily be integrated to.

You can get away with the unsupported tags by putting the below code to your css...

header, nav, content, section, article, footer,
{display:block}

Nairaland was build with SMF forum CMS, but it has under gone a whole lot of modifications for security,speed and user friendliness purposes.

The reason why you are seeing an ugly code is because,If you want your website to load faster you need to compress the source codes which is known a minify : you can read more here:http://www.codingsavvy.com/2015/05/how-scripts-images-and-css-minify-can.html
You will have two version of your website which is compressed and uncompressed, It is the compressed version that will be deployed to the web while the uncompressed version is useful for further updates and developments.
