Get Your Beanie On!

The sixth annual Blue Beanie Day will be celebrated around the world on Friday, November 30, 2012. Show your support for web standards! Take a self-portrait wearing a blue beanie (toque, tuque, cap) and upload it to the Sixth International Blue Beanie Day 2012 pool on Flickr.

You can also upload your photo to Instagram, and announce it on Twitter using the hashtag #bbd12. For extra fun, add a blue beanie to your social network avatar on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Flickr, etc.

If you don’t possess a blue beanie, grab this digital one created by our good friend Mr Kevin Cornell.
