@ cyphunk: Other tools? For designing web pages? Oh, great guru of web design, other than tables, which is so 1999 and does not meet web standards, what other options are there for designing a web page without CSS? Just curious as I've been doing this for over a decade and I haven't found another option that meets web standards for accessibility. I'd love there to be something else, and I will honor that something, but for now, we have HTML in all its myriad versions and CSS. Unless I'm missing something out there. This "torture" reminds the world that there is more to a website than pretty. There is a lot of creativity, open thinking, and artistry that goes into web design. There is so much more. The Javascript writers who create the little script that makes things whirl and click and work when CSS won't comply. PHP and MySQL developers who save us bandwidth and redundancies on our site. WordPress Theme designers and WordPress Plugin authors give us flexibility and customization beyond what our weak minds can do. There are so many people and such creative energy to bless and honor, a day of a CSS-less website is nothing compared to the debt we owe them. Without them, all you would see would be black on white in a monochromatic world of your monitor.

obviously someone that designs their site with a heavy weight towords CSS is going to have a moldy layout when they take away the CSS. CSS is a tool that has it’s current function, one which is dynamic in changing, but still just a tool. But there are other tools as well. I mean, we don’t have a “let’s stop talking in english day so everyone realizes how important english is over other languages”. There is more than one way to design something just as there is more than one language. But if you want to torture your users for a day, go for it.

@ Shivanand Sharma:

Well, I have visitors from all over the world. Somewhere in that world is it still the 9th, right? And who says I’m in the same time zone as you are. [Evil laughter here]

Hmmm… you are celebetrating it even on 10th? I couldn’t survive 24 hrs. Thought the site didn’t look as bad, I definitely missed the wonder sidebar of my site navigation.
