CSS Naked Day

Where did my Design go?

Welcome to the first annual CSS naked day which will be happening April 5th, 2006. 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; well, a fun play on words. I mean, who doesn't want to get naked?. Feel free to see the original reference article for more information.

How to Participate

Simply say something to the likes of count me in or I'll do it in the comment form found at the bottom of the naked day thread and I'll get your name and URL from what you entered into the name and url fields.

Then on April 5th, simply remove all CSS from your website, stripping it entirely of its design.

(Optional): Insert the following snippet of markup at the top of your page on the day of.

<h3>What happened to the design?</h3>
<p>To know more about why styles are disabled on this website visit the
<a href="http://naked.dustindiaz.com" title="Web Standards Naked Day Host Website">
Annual CSS Naked Day</a> website for more information.</p>

I only give that option for those who feel a need to point something to. For me, this is not about getting traffic or making money. There are no ads on this site, nor will there ever be. This is about you, the people; getting naked.

Practical ways to prepare for Naked Day

I thought these were note worthy. If anyone else wants to contribute with a suggestion, please email it to me (do not write it in the comments).

Let PHP do it for you every year with this handy function (note, this function allows you stay naked during the entire 48 hour period of April 5th (recommended))

/* updated function */
<?php
function is_naked_day() {
	$start = date('U', mktime(-12,0,0,04,05,date('Y')));
	$end = date('U', mktime(36,0,0,04,05,date('Y')));
	$z = date('Z') * -1;
	$now = time() + $z;	
	if ( $now >= $start && $now <= $end ) {
		return true;
	}
	else {
		return false;
	}
}
?>

Famous Words

This is a fun idea, fully in line with the reasons for creating CSS in the first place. While most designers are attracted by the extra presentational capabilities, saving HTML from becoming a presentational language was probably a more important motivation for most people who participated in the beginning.

Håkon Wium Lie

And if you look hard enough, you'll find him in the list.

Who's getting naked?
