Strip Down!… Honour Web Design and Designers

naked-day-08.png“WordPress Naked Day” is coming up on April 9th, 2008. This is the third year of the annual CSS Naked Day which honours web design and designers around the world who help make our websites and blogs look “pretty” to the eye while still being totally functional under the hood. Dustin Diaz wanted to give the web world an opportunity to remind everyone of the benefits of CSS web page design. By removing the stylesheet for the day, the world would see naked web pages, giving a little more appreciation for the skills of web page designers.

It’s something I might consider doing, but considering all the problems I have had the last week with “weblog breakdown” I’m petrified at the idea of tinkering with my theme and going scriptless… but if it’s a tribute to designers I might have to be brave!

You can find out more on how to go naked after the jump:

Hate to admit it but I don’t fully understand podcasting, so the past week I’ve been reading blogs and online tutorials on the subject, trying to get a handle on it!… not sure I understand it any better now, though. Hence the reason I haven’t blogged in a few days… that and the fact I haven’t had anything I wanted to write about until today:

A brand new blog I think is well worth ranting about is Lower (Carbon) Footprint, the new blog from Tom Raftery tackling the important issue of ‘Green IT’ and information on lowering the carbon footprint… So if you only check out one new blog this week, give it a look!
