CSS naked day

On April 9, 2008, Gaffney3.com will strip itself naked of its CSS for the common goal of promoting web standards for the day. Without the CSS, which on Gaffney3.com was created by the talented Lokesh Dhakar, visitors will see the site free from formatting.

For those of you unfamiliar, I’m a huge fan of XHTML having felt the pain of reformulating HTML for some of the sites I’ve worked on over the years for cross-browser, -platform and -device functionality. Also, with the nuance differences between the varied user-agents and parsers “correcting” HTML, a more restrictive or rigid subset is necessary to more correctly render the design which is in the best interest of both the web designer and user.

Having said this, Gaffney3.com currently does not validate since the introduction of the Zemanta plug-in which has been tremendously useful, however will need to clean up their markup if I am to continue using it.
