The third annual Blue Beanie Day will be celebrated on Monday, November 30, 2009
Thousands of Standardistas (people who support web standards) will wear a Blue Beanie to show their support for accessible, semantic web content.
3rd Annual Blue Beanie Day
It’s easy to show your support for web design done right. Beg, borrow, or buy a Blue Beanie (or Blue Toque in Canada) and snap a photo of your mug wearing the blue. (Or get creative with Photoshop). Then on November 30, switch your profile picture in Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, (and any other social network) and post your photo to the Blue Beanie Day group at Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/groups/bluebeanieday2009/ .
It’s easy to participate:
- Make a personal commitment to fight Web Standards apathy. Show solidarity with the Standardistas on Monday, November 30th, 2009.
