This is not immediately obvious those who charge a flat rate per project, instead of by the hour. But unless you track your hours, you know neither how much you’re making on your current project, nor the fair price to charge for a comparable project in the future. Remember, $2000 might sound like a pretty [...]
In your CSS, you specify that your #header, #footer and #sidebar elements should be baby blue. A week later, your picky designer asks that they be changed to lilac. Of course, you can change the color for all three elements, but, as the DRY gods will tell you, find/replace is error-prone.

Check out the Swazz Calendar. Small file size, easy to integrate and actually works.
One caveat: by default, it sets the date the European way (dd/mm/yyyy). To change to the American format, find the following line in the prepcalendar function:
calvalarr[d]=”+(d-cd)+’/’+(cm-(-1))+’/’+cy;
and change it to:
calvalarr[d]=”+(cm-(-1))+’/’+(d-cd)+’/’+cy;
Then find these lines in function lcs:
ccm=curdtarr[1]-1;
ccy=curdtarr[2];
prepcalendar(curdtarr[0],curdtarr[1]-1,curdtarr[2]);
Change them to:
ccm=curdtarr[0]-1;
ccy=curdtarr[2];
prepcalendar(curdtarr[1],curdtarr[0]-1,curdtarr[2]);
Voilà. [...]

In a bout of desperation to find a competent CSS coder, I shot off the following email to Dave Shea, founder of css Zen Garden:
Dear Dave,
When I look deeply into your code, you make my heart smile. You are not like the others, I can tell. No: you are not like those fools who wormed [...]
