Sometimes, the best thing you can do when your eyes are bugging out of your head from staring at the same damn code hour after hour, day after day, while the solution to a tiny niggling code alignment issue still escapes you — is quit. Step awaaaay from the computer, have a great dinner and conversation with your sweetie, drink some beer or wine (or both), watch The Daily Show and the Colbert Report, and then get a good night’s sleep.

In the morning, suddenly it becomes clear.

As did my footer alignment issue this morning when I took a fresh look at the code. Duh! Of course, the way I had originally coded it was pushing it out of line, but I just couldn’t see that yesterday, after it seemed to break once I corrected my missing div. After days of it appearing perfectly correct (while the pages wouldn’t validate), I was just so anxious to be done with my new design already!

And now, I am very nearly done! Woo-hoo!

Immovable object, meet irresistable force!
