I can totally understand the frustration with website designs concerning CSS layouts and browser compatibility issues. It is a lot to learn and I am sure everyone has gone through a lot of trials, lots of testing, and basically just making everything work. I recently got scolded by a programmer because I used a z-index and absolute positioning in one of my sites. I did not think there was anything wrong with it, but he mentioned it was a "dirty code" and not to use it ever again! So, ok. I got it. No more using z-index. I felt like a kid wearing a dunce cap :) But, oh well, I got a nice t-shirt graphic out of it at least....

Hehehe...thanks Loni! You're too funny.
It doesn't matter what the code looks like, only what the design looks like in the web browser! (except IE6)
Hahaha... I need one t-shirt like this one, too. It seems like is the only great thing about dirty code ;)
Hi Michelle! Silly web guy, doesn't he know that illustrators have z-index immunity?!
The shirt is hilarious!
Hi Michelle! Thanks for the nice comment you left in my blog. Everything is good here in Norway. I'm enjoying the spring weather we have these days. How nice that your nephew visited you. I bet he thought it was a long way to travel. Keep up the great work!
That's pretty funny...somehow I lost track of you and didn't realize you'd reappeared! Now I've got some catching up to do.
