Aside from a few criticisms that others have already raised I think this is quite a nice introduction to OKLCH and how to use them in CSS.

With that out of the way, I'd like to go on a tangent here: can anyone explain the modern trend of not including publishing dates in blog articles? It stood out to me here in particular because the opening sentence said that "OKLCH is a newer color model" and the "newer" part of that sentence will get dated quicker than you think. The main site does mention a date, but limits it to "August 2025" so this seems like a conscious choice and I just don't get it.

I can't explain it, but undated articles are a serious problem. I don't know whether it's a modern trend ... how can one tell in the absence of dates? I've seen plenty of undated content that appears to be old.

On some blogs I can only tell the timeframe of the content from the timestamps on the comments ... but many blogs like the OP's don't support comments. I'm not likely to revisit them. (The blurb on the OP's main page is ironic ... rather than obsessing over the smallest details I see obsession over esthetics to the detriment of functionality.)
