May 7, 200719 yr What is the CSS Reboot? The CSS Reboot is a community event for web professionals and enthusiasts. Every November 1st and May 1st at 18:00 GMT, Rebooters from all over the world launch their standards based website redesigns simultaneously; bringing traffic, interest and a little respect to their sites. There are no prizes or arbitrary winners, just great exposure and the knowledge that we all participated in something great. How does the event work? In the months leading to a Reboot, people who want to participate in the CSS Reboot sign up and upload information about their website. During the signup process you can visit cssreboot.com to see who is planning on rebooting. Then on Reboot Day at 18:00 GMT, all participants launch their new website redesigns. Thousands of visitors swarm to cssreboot.com to view, comment and visit their favorite new redesigns. This in turn creates a lot of buzz, many blogs write about the event and feature top redesigns in their galleries. This brings even more recognition for the participants. When is 18:00 GMT? And why use GMT? The Reboot is a worldwide event so it uses the less U.S.-centric Greenwich Mean Time to try and get everyone worldwide to launch their design at roughly the same time. 18:00 GMT is 2:00 p.m. EST and 11:00 a.m. PST. http://www.cssreboot.com/
