[Web4lib] Today is "CSS Naked Day"

Wed Apr 9 15:25:53 EDT 2008

This is something I only found out about recently. (i.e. about 2 minutes
ago)

(quoted from their website, because who doesn't love a good pun?)
"The idea behind this event is to promote Web Standards. Plain and simple.
This includes proper use of (x)html, semantic markup, a good hierarchy
structure, and of course, a good 'ol play on words. It's time to show off
your <body>."

Basically, the idea behind "CSS Naked Day" is that by turning off your CSS
styles for a day, you'll show that you are actually paying attention to
accessibility by making sure your site makes sense without stylesheets.

They also have a quick-and-easy PHP snippet you can put in to your site's
code to make it remove the stylesheet for CSS Naked Day.
