Ready to Get Naked?
I’m talking about your CSS. April 9th (Wednesday) is CSS Naked Day, when hundreds, maybe thousands, of bloggers will “go naked” by stripping off all CSS styles for one day:
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. - from Lorelle’s announcement
Apparently, this is the third year of CSS Naked Day. I’ll be joining in, stripping this and my other blog on Wednesday.

Six Apart and Automattic
Read/Write Web has posted a very interesting look at two Blog Platform companies: Six Apart (Movable Type, LiveJournal, Vox) and Automattic (Wordpress, Wordpress.com).
If you’re a beginning blogger trying to decide which platform choose- even if you’ve been blogging for some time- this is worth a look. Well-written and concise, the article is useful for those asking “which is right for me?” rather than “which is better?”:
The purpose is to contrast, rather than to predict a winner. But the firms are certainly competitors. For example, individuals looking for free hosted blogging may well consider both Vox and WordPress.com, as well as Blogger.

Of Blogging and Beaches
I’ve been busy, of course- which explains why, despite my promises, I haven’t been posting here. But there’s a bright side: in the time I was away, I worked on several very exciting projects, one of which I’m pleased to introduce here: keep reading »
