>>Hi,

>>I bought a book on HTML5 and as I read it and learn some new tags I want to start incorporating them into my web site (I made it in ASP.NET so it is easy enough to "plug" in the new code). My question is, how wide spread is now support for HTML5? That is, how likely people who look at my site will have problems seeing stuff before their browser does not support HTML5?

The reason I want to start using HTML5 is not simply to "push" it but I simply learn better when I can apply something. That is, if I read the book and do nothing, I will probably forget most of the stuff very soon. If I start applying it to my site, hopefully I will learn better.
Thank you.
