Andy Budd’s CSS Mastery Competition closes this Friday but the competition is tough. Just as you thought you stood a chance (purely on number of entries), Remy posts a response that made me laugh out load.

Well I keep hoping !!

Begrudgingly I offer Good luck to Remy! as anyone who works for Cats Protection even if they are competition can’t be bad.

I also support the Cat’s Protection you can too https://www.cats.org.uk/supportus/onlinedd.asp

My letter to Santa

(a.k.a. Andy Budd and Friends of Ed)

Dear Santa,

Christmas is just around the corner and quality of work is falling.
I have not got time to do any training as I can hear the holidays calling.

I bet you have been sent lots of letters asking for Andy Budd’s CSS Mastery book and are consulting with Chris Mills and the Friends of Ed gang about whether you would be able.
But please can you send me a copy of the book so I can learn how to ditch
the horrible layout table.

Say hi to my mate Rudolph the one with the red nose.
I have read your blog and the quality of his CSS shows.
I aspire to be as good so please consider this request on my present list.
I know if I improved my CSS next year my clients would be happier and I would feel less guilty having holidays and getting pissed.

Hey, whilst you are about it what about one of those iPod nanos
preferably Red cause it matters more.
That ain’t difficult, you get ‘em from Apple’s online store.

Anyways, I gotta go now Santa, I’m having a tough time.
trying to make sure I have got all the links covered and make them rhyme.

So please remember my request and try your best !!

Yours

Shaun

A competition run by Andy Budd which offers the opportunity to win his excellent book CSS Mastery Actually spurred me onto setting up a blog at long last.!!

As I do not have my own personal copy yet I intend to enter his competition to see if I can get hold of one. Although it is on my christmas list anyway.

As a web developer I realise it is important to have a blog, however as a frustrated designer I could never get something that looked good enough. But courtesy of this theme (see credits below) I have a last been saved the effort.

So into the blogosphere I come.
