Should Arrows be Placed Before Link Text or After?

An interesting article at the Usability Post poses the question "Should Arrows be Placed Before Link Text or After?" I only tend to use arrows with previous / next links where I've always felt that the arrows should point away from the links but there are some interesting views from other people here too...

CSS Naked Day 2008

As with last year, MilkHub will be joining hundreds of other websites and getting naked on Wednesday (9th April). Last year over 1600 sites took part, a massive increase from the 750 the year before! I'll be removing all stylesheets for the day and going one step further by disabling all JavaScript too!

Accessible Display: None

Nathan Smith explains the problems with using selector { display: none; } to hide content on a page and suggests a better alternative selector { display: block; overflow: hidden; width: 0; height: 0; }.

CSS Naked Day 2007

MilkHub will be getting naked on Thursday (5th April) along with potentially hundreds of other site owners. Over 750 sites took part last year!

Why?

It's all to show off website accessibility. A user should be able to use your website with no styles on, essentially what a blind user would see (or hear).

How do I get involved?

If you want to show your interest head over to the CSS Naked Day website and signup. Then on Thursday turn off all of the stylesheets on your site for 24 hours.
