I See London, I See France… ✭

Now you see my site’s underpants… no, you now see it totally naked. What do I mean?
Today is CSS Naked Day
Today, standards-based sites around the world have voluntarily stripped their pages of the CSS that makes them pretty.
The funny thing, and the point of the whole exercise, is to see that what’s left, the content, is still pretty because it’s semantic. The headers show up as headers, lists have bullet points, emphatic text shows up emphatically! Everything is still totally usable, on any device that browses the web.
Please read more about all this at the official CSS Naked Day website. No pretty styles there, either. Sorry.
UPDATE: CSS Naked Day is passed, and the styles are back! Yay!

Of course, like everyone else who isn't in the know, my first thought was "Oh no! Better reload! Maybe there was some sort of error. Maybe there is a missing CSS link somewhere." But no. I agonized for naught.
So, is this like Day of Silence but for CSS? I didn't know it was THAT ostracized
