Look Ma! No styles!

Don’t panic, the site is meant to look a little bare of layout and colour and style. We’re supporting CSS Naked Day. Bit geeky, but heck, if you’ve got the goods, might as well show them!

Brilliant! I have to admit it feels a little strange though. :o)

Oh, okay… I can actually read this if I lean in REALLY close to the monitor and squint a lot. The vast, blinding acreage of white was drowning out the fact that there were even words on the screen at all. It looked like the site had gone to just plain white with no text.

Anyway, this will probably inspire me to figure out how to override bgcolor from client-side… if I can find the time and energy for it.

For now, I get behind by a day in reading this site, coz it gives me a headache to hafta lean in and squint like this.

I have no idea what a ’style’ is, but I do know how to set background colours in html to something less painful that blinding white.

Kyla, it’s been over 24 hours that the site has been turned back to what it should look like. If you aren’t seeing it, I suggest you refresh your browser cache.

AHA! I just got talked through the process of clearing the cache (whatever that means). When I reloaded, it came up normal again.

All this talk of CSS and styles and caches has me completely lost and baffled.
