On Thursday April 5th, Invisible Window will be participating in the second annual CSS Naked Day. The following is how CSS Naked Day is described on the official web site.

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 of course, a good ‘ol play on words. It’s time to show off your .

What does this mean in English? Web developers who believe in compliance with web standards (something Invisible Window is a big proponent of) strive to separate the content (XHTML) on a web page from the structure (CSS). There are many reasons for this, not the least of which is accessibility across many formats and platforms – a properly marked up XHTML page should be readable on everything from modern browsers, like Fire Fox to mobile devices like a Treo or Razr. On CSS Naked day, site owners agree to rid their site of CSS (formatting) and just show their naked markup (XHTML). Why? To illustrate that content still is king (and that we’re geeks).
