April 5th is Naked Day!
April 1, 2007 |
No, this isn’t some lame April Fool’s joke. April 5th is the annual CSS Naked Day, a day to help promote web standards. I’ve talked about web standards a little before, basically that my site conforms to them, but what better way to prove a point then by getting naked (isn’t that what PETA and Greenpeace have been doing for years?).
Mindless Chatter, along with any other website worth visiting these days, is coded using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). The reason the text on this page is spaced the way it is and the paper in the background displays the way it does is all thanks to the CSS tied into this site. On April 5th this site is getting stripped down to the bare essentials and, if you stop by, you’ll see what Mindless Chatter looks like naked.
