We’re Going Streaking!

OK, I don’t mean this in the literal sense obviously - let me explain. On Wednesday April 5th I will be taking part in the first annual CSS Naked Day. Dustin Diaz has come up with the idea that on April 5th, hundreds of blogs will streak around the internet to promote web standards and usability.
Many popular bloggers will be taking part in this exercise including Dustin Diaz, Mike Davidson, and Nathan Smith to name a few. I thought I’d join in the fun and strip my site of all style for one day, all in the name of accessibility. So don’t be alarmed when you come to my site on Wednesday and it looks a little… uhm… bare.
For more information, and to get involved on CSS Naked Day, check out the official CSS Naked Day website.
Remember to check back on Wednesday to see Reinspire - the Birthday Suit Edition.
UPDATE: Well, it’s over. By all accounts, CSS Naked Day was a great success. Over 700 blogs flashed their birthday suits to promote accessibility, web standards and usability.

Nice to see your supporting web standards!
Off-Topic ~~
I saw your comment on Stopdesign and you where looking for a ‘iCal for windows’, take a look at http://www.monocalendar.com/ it’s in development but looks promising.
Thanks Graham

Thanks Graham.
I’ve been a big supporter of web standards for a long time now, and CSS Naked Day was a great initiative to help raise awareness and prove why web standards are important.
I’ll take a look at monocalendar, thanks for the link!

Eck – That is pretty erie that we posted the same exact title to the same entry. Was that you stalking me through the window?
Great minds think alike I guess ..

Web, yeah… weird. And here I thought I was being original.
If you’d like to argue about post time though, perhaps I was being original and you were doing the stalking…
