Today is [CSS Naked Day 2020](https://css-naked-day.github.io). Inspired by [Eric Meyer](https://meyerweb.com), I’m joining in for the first time in *years*, so today my website has no CSS.<!--more-->

## What’s the point?
The point of removing the CSS on your website is to draw attention to how the content still works in just plain HTML. It’s close to a visual equivalent to how screen readers access a website’s text content. Screen readers can’t interpret the fancy styles (mostly), but they still understand the content. You can still read the links and know heading text from body text. This is all because this website and its contents were written using [semantic HTML](https://24ways.org/2017/accessibility-through-semantic-html/). If you can see the page in your browser, the browser’s default styles present you with a little bit of formatting based on my HTML choices.
