CSS Naked Day 2008

08 April 2008

Tomorrow is CSS Naked Day '08, and websites around the intertubes will be stripping their styles and showing off their semantic markup.

I figured I'd get the ball rolling a little early, to balance the fact that I'll inevitably forget to re-enable the styles for at least a week afterwards.

    The hardest bit was finding the local copy of my site - searched several virtual machine images before finding it in my mac home directory.

    The second hardest bit was remembering that I had rebuilt my entire site with Django, and that it barely works. Although I did find it quite fitting that I had to write the post in HTML in a textarea on an unstyled admin page.
