Today, 30 November 2011, is the Fifth Annual international Blue Beanie Day in support of web standards.

Standards keep the web from fragmenting into tiny fiefdoms best viewed with a particular browser or plug-in only. Web standards keep our content portable and accessible across platforms, devices, and operating systems. Each November 30, we celebrate. You wonderful people can help spread the word.

* Hat color: blue (no specific hex value)

* Hashtag: #bbd11

1.) Upload a blue beanie photo as your avatar on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Flickr, etc. (or add a blue beanie to your existing avatar)

2.) Upload blue beanie photo to this BLUE BEANIE DAY 2011 pool right here on Flickr: www.flickr.com/groups/bluebeanieday2011/
