Gettin’ Naked!

Filed under: Technology — by Jim on April 2, 2006 @ 8:55 pm

That’s right, on April 5th the Auldridges are gettin’ NAKED! At least, the site is going naked. In honor of the first annual Naked Day, started by Dustin Diaz, the Auldridge site will shed it’s CSS.

What’s the point? Well you can read more about it in the links I put in the last paragraph, but the reason is to show the purpose of properly structured web page documents before you add the styling in. A web page consists of content, and that content must be strucutred into a document. It is only after properly structuring your content that you design the page. By turning off the design, we’ll show that the page is still usable because the document is properly structured. It’s a web developer (read: geek) thing.

    “sho nuf does”?–Were you really just gangsta and geek all at once?

  5. Jim:

    It was supposed to be more southern black gentlemen. You’ve got to say it like…like..like Miss Daisy’s driver would have said it! :)

  6. Heidi:

    Ohhh, I see now…I see. And when those southern gentlemen were out pickin’ cotton I bet they were wondering if their websites were very well-structured! “It’s so hot out here…I should just go in, drink some tea and fix my submit button” :)

  7. Jim:

    Oh Heidi, you plague me with your witty humor. I am so sweet to you and all I get is teasing. ;)
