    I converted my WordPress theme over to html5 at the first opportunity. It allows the site to be displayed in a more predictable manner across all modern web browsers and devices.

    I'm using all of the new semantic layout elements like nav, article, aside, header, footer, etc.

    I'm also using the new forms attribute, "placeholder", which is one of the more useful html attributes in the html5 stack and definitely worth your time to learn about if you don't already use it. If you are interested in reading more about it, I've got a brief tutorial on my blog describing how I'm using it to supercharge the Contact Form 7 plugin here.

    are you just using the doc type or are you using it's new structural elements? (or both)
    I'm using both as indicated above. To me, it doesn't make much sense to use the doctype and not use the elements it allows. The elements are the key to a more interoperable, accessible, speedier web experience on desktop, device, kiosk, appliance, and automobile.

    As ClickBump said, HTML 5 uses semantic tags which means browsers as well as search engines will be able to read the page better. In HTML 5, you don't need to define a complex DOCTYPE. You just add <!DOCTYPE html>
