14 reasons why you are addicted to web design
As it’s a Sunday I thought I’d keep today’s post fun. I found most of these browsing around the net – comments welcome with anything I may have missed!
You know you’re addicted to web design when…
- You check the source code of websites you like, and refuse to bookmark sites that use tabled layouts.
- You refer to your outfits as “skin”.
- You have those 10 fixes stuck to the side of your computer monitor… just in case!
- You’ve taken a CSS/XHTML quiz just to be certain.
- You get genuinely pissed with your mates when they don’t know what CSS is.
- You recently had a dream involving a div class or img src.
- You can name 20 things wrong with IE.
- You spend more time reading and commenting on web design blogs than actually designing websites.
- You’ve ever copy and pasted a website’s CSS and lost sleep worrying about getting caught.
- You’ve timed how long it takes you to type out an HTML DOCTYPE and celebrated when you broke your own record.
- You’ve ever turned down a social event to test out the latest version of CSS.
- You got truly mad with a family member for not upgrading to FireFox.
- You can name more design sites than friends in real life.
- You have the W3C validator URL memorized by heart.
So I guess at least half of those apply to me… what about you?
