I'd say the idea is to promote a lot of web designers as themselves
and an amazing back-patting exercise.

Sorry but
"This is merely to see if you're up to the challenge to put your
website on the line. If you run an e-commerce website, you ought not
participate; this is purely for those with personal blogs or for those
who run publications or&whatever."

Makes it a rather "preaching to the choir" excercise. What point is
there in keeping a lot of web design blogs unstyled to promote the use
of CSS? Who else but bloggers do care? If a lot of webshops or really
massive news portals would do it, that'll be different.

Reminds me of the greyday:

How about a "noscript" day, turning off all JavaScript or a "keyboard
awareness day", overruling all click events and only allowing for
keyboard navigation?
