I’m looking for someone to chop PSD files into clean, W3C-compliant CSS layouts. If you have a keen aesthetic sense, replete with Macbook and box frame glasses, great. However, I already know many talented designers who are shit coders. I don’t care if you think black looks good with orange, or if you can’t tell mauve from burgundy. I just need you to know CSS.
I will shower you with riches and glory if you can do it right. However, if I catch you confusing an id with a class, notice repetition in your stylesheets instead of clean cascading (why do you think they’re called ‘cascading’?), or see so much as a single table used for non-data purposes, you are FIRED.
Telecommuting acceptable. Javascript a plus.

If you do find someone, please tell me if he/she has a twin:)
Guess I’m not qualified: I think it’s OK to use tables for layout occasionally, as long as they are used sparsely, not nested ad infinitum with lots of spacer images.
For example, just yesterday I used a table to lay out four textareas (containing copyable video embed code) horizontally, each with a title and descriptive text above it.
So much for being showered with riches and glory. Sigh…
Death to tables! Down with classes! CSSZENGARDEN FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ll admit to using tables for layout sometimes. This is why I want to hire someone who doesn’t! And hell no, Erkki… if I find the perfect CSSer, he AND his twin are mine.
