No nudity today…

nutity prohibited Oh how well this fits to my yesterday’s post‘s splash picture. ;)

Some blogs make themselves “nude” today on CSS Naked Day, i.e. remove their design created using CSS, in order to honor the web standards developers and point out these standards and their promotion.

A great English praise can be found at Lorelle’s, including a plea for advancing standards towards built-in automatic translation (well, there’s certainly much work left to be done to make these undertandable…).

Well, anyone as he likes (the “prohibited” sign isn’t meant serious in this regard) – I personally don’t see much point in showing an “ugly” page to my visitors, only a fraction of which will probably understand what this is about and rather think of an error – until they noticed the information hopefully displayed clearly by all participants, that is. :)

Here, by the way, it’d look like this (click for large view):

Those who want can, for instance, select View → Page Style → No Style in Firefox’s menu, then this site will look and work just like that without a CSS design.

Blooming again

In September, I already had this website (and two more) displayed as flowering graphs with the applet at Aharef – already the “unfolding process” is nice to watch (but takes some patience) –, and I wanted to see the influence of the changes (e.g. theme overhaul) since then. The final result (created before this post) looks like this now:

The meaning of the colors:
blue: for links (the A tag)
red: for tables (TABLE, TR and TD tags)
green: for the DIV tag
violet: for images (the IMG tag)
yellow: for forms (FORM, INPUT, TEXTAREA, SELECT and OPTION tags)
orange: for linebreaks and blockquotes (BR, P, and BLOCKQUOTE tags)
black: the HTML tag, the root node
gray: all other tags

Design change

Yes, I, too, changed my blog’s design a little – I had grown tired of all that pale blue in the background, and the “doodling” and christmas cliparts had to go to. As well as the snow, which is the only thing I’m missing a little…

:photo: But now, there’s one random photo out of three four per month in the upper right corner.*

For comparison: This is how it looked before:

or like this before christmas:

and now like this:

If something’s not working yet, or if you have any opinions or suggestions, just tell me…


* Even as atheist, I can show “seasonal” photos with nativity scenes etc., can’t I? ;)

Advent in my blog [Update]

Well, my blog’s advent/christmas design is now completely online – if it doesn’t look right for you (cf. screenshot), please click “Reload”, “Refresh” or whatever its name is in your browser…

Update 25 Nov: I thought the snow could cast some shadow onto the blue bar…

At the bottom of the sidebar on the right hand side, there are also a few candles.
