I'm naked and you should join me!

Naked CSS 07First of, for anyone who knows me that has probably scared the something right out of them :o) Of course I don't mean I'm naked, my site is. Today is CSS Naked Day '07

Where did my Design go?

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>.

There are two ways to disable the CSS.
  1. Just comment out the style sheet reference
  2. Via code. Below is a sample CF function to test for CSS Naked Day
Rahul Narula has kindly pointed in pointed out my comments a more efficient function to check for Naked Day
   view plainprintabout
 <cffunction name="isNakedDay">
 <cfreturn day(now()) eq 5 and month(now()) eq 4>
 </cffunction>
And I suppose that why a he's computer scientist at web team@Adobe :o)

If you go nude don't forget to add your self to the site via the form at the bottom of http://naked.dustindiaz.com/

Dan G. Switzer, II's Gravatar I would think this movement would be more affective if users could toggle between the 2 states (start naked and allow to view w/CSS.) I've always found the best way to exlpain how CSS can affect the page output, is to show a person the page w/out CSS and then with.

I think this would at least help out the non-technical people in the industry who still don't see the value of the separation.

Andy Jarrett's Gravatar @Todd, The form didn't like the idea of nakedness.

@Dan, The toggle would be nice, might be something I implement. But for today the plain is staying :o)

Steve Bryant's Gravatar Great idea!

I went ahead and joined in (and added a link to show the page with the design per Dan's suggestion).
