That’s right folks! Wednesday April 5, 2006 is the first annual CSS Naked Day. This idea was cooked up to promote some awareness of the importance of valid semantic markup.

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?

When a site strips its CSS off, you see the markup and nothing else. It’s actually pretty close to how a search engine or a screen reader sees it. Although a bit boring, it should still be perfectly understandable to anyone who stumbles across your site.

We’re not participating (this year) at LevelTen, but you can see my site in the nude on April 5
