For a full 48 hours, while somewhere on earth it’s April 5th this blog will be separated from its lovely CSS file. This is about standards, not retarded Digg users, along with some ignorant Newsvine users. This day is to educate those web developers that don’t write code to conform to standards, which is a bad thing. Don’t even think about starting an AJAX/Web 2.0 project if you don’t plan on using web standards, otherwise bad things will happen.

Tomorrow this site will not look the same as it usually does. In participating in CSS Naked Day I will be removing my CSS file to demonstrate how this site conforms to xHtml 1.1 standards and degrades gracefully due to standards compliance. Well it seems the leader of this has jumped the gun, or is in Europe, because it isn’t the fifth yet here in the USA.
Our track meet scheduled for Thursday has been rescheduled for tomorrow, to avoid expected foul weather. This is just great since we had a hard workout on Monday and we won’t be fully recovered on Wednesday. It really doesn’t matter as it is the first meet of the season.

Spreading awareness of web standards is the goal of CSS Naked Day, a day in which webmasters and bloggers remove all CSS styling from their website and blogs, leaving the xHtml ‘naked’. In his blog Dustin Diaz announced that he wants April 5, 2006, that’s this Wednesday, to be the first annual CSS naked day.
That’s right, I’m starting the first annual CSS Naked Day. In the spirit of promoting Web Standards along with good semantic markup and proper hierarchy structures, April 5th will be a day of nakedness for all webmasters to remove their style sheets from their website for one day. Signing up is not required, just simply comment in this thread with a link to your website and let everyone else know that you’re participating.
Over at Digg some people are having hard times reading the actual article, so I quoted Dustin’s first paragraph.
Dustin is recommending that anyone who participates includes some html that he wrote that explains the disappearance of styling and a link to the CSS naked page.
I will be participating, will you?
