    People are stripping off their CSS and showing off their <body> in celebration of CSS Naked Day 2008. My make more money online blog will join it for the first time and I'm excited. How many are stripping tomorrow?

    Oh wow, I'd never heard of this. I like the idea. Too bad almost all of my code is sitting on local machines, while the outdated ones are still online. But we'll have like 4-6 sites that can participate next year!

    I'm not going to participate, it feels too much like the time I went "snype hunting".

    I'm going to use Aja's WordPress Naked Day plugin to take care of the CSS stripping tomorrow. Hahaha. I've seen some website already started with the stripping.

    It would be pretty funny if someone inadvertantly exposed "hidden keywords" on their site by doing this.

    Honestly, I kind of think this is a silly idea. Pretty much all of my sites that I work on are targeted towards consumers who would probably just leave if there were no CSS styles applied. I don't really see the reasoning behind killing all of my sales for three entire days.

    I would rather support naked CSS day by being naked while coding any CSS, though my co-workers would probably disagree.

    You know, this naked CSS day thing is getting really annoying. I keep going to websites that have information I need, and all of them look like I am reading a Word document. If I wanted to look at web pages like this, I would go back to 1989.

    I vote for banning naked CSS day for the rest of the existence of the world.

    This is the most dumbest concept ever. Businesses are supposed to benefit from holidays, whether seeing a surge in customers or letting employees have a day off. Why turn away potential long-term repeat visitors due to your site looking like crap because of some stupid, unofficial, poorly developed, inane, pointless, retarded, dumb "holiday"?

    In light of the news of this terrible, terrible idea; I've come up with a much superior concept:

    Ad-Free Day

    Most people find ads to be the height of annoyance anyway, why not have one day dedicated to stripping the ads from your website to make it less cluttered and expose what your website is truly about, and possibly attract potential repeat visitors; rather than making your site look like crap, and losing potential repeat visitors.

    Every day is ad-free day, anywhere you go the most popular downloads are adblockers & spyware removal applications. Frankly it baffles me as to why advertisers would actually pay people to place advertisements on their site in light of that fact. :scratchhead:

    Well, probably because a very significant percentage of web users don't block ads. Any half-decent advertiser would stop their campaigns if they found they weren't getting a decent ROI.

    Bear in mind also that the most prevalent ads on the Net are Google Adsense ads and the payment is directly related to the number of clicks received. No clicks = no payment so it doesn't matter to the advertiser if the ads are blocked by some of the visitors.
