+<p>2023-04-11</p>
+<p>I wrote an article back in 2021 called <a href="https://bt.ht/lazy-dev-dark-mode/">The Lazy Developer&#8217;s Dark
+Mode</a> where I explained how to implement
+a very basic &#8220;dark mode&#8221; by using the <code>prefers-color-scheme</code> CSS attribute.
+This stills works perfectly fine, and in fact there is a cleaner variation of
+this created by <em>jacksonchen666</em>: <a href="https://jacksonchen666.com/posts/2023-04-09/13-47-16/">These 3 Lines of CSS Will Give You Dark Mode for Free</a>.</p>
+<p>But today I wanted to show how to add dark mode functionality to a website
+without <em>any CSS at all</em>.</p>
+<pre><code>&#60;meta name="color-scheme" content="dark light"&#62;
+</code></pre>
+<p>Add that line inside the <code>head</code> tags on your HTML files and you&#8217;re good to go.</p>
+<h2 id="minor-caveat">Minor Caveat</h2>
+<p>I mentioned this same issue on the official <a href="https://barf.bt.ht/dark-mode/">barf blog
+post</a> but it doesn&#8217;t hurt to repeat it here.
+Safari still has minor ahref &#47; link color issue when defaulting to browser dark
+mode. If supporting that browser is a deal-breaker for you, I suggest looking
+at my <a href="https://bt.ht/safari-default-dark-mode/">hacky solution</a>.</p>
+<p>Hopefully this helps others to add dark mode to their existing websites and
+projects with minimal effort!</p>
