Eh, just wanting to learn it so I can make changes to the city's website that someone else designed. Specifically, having the nav bar run in tabs across under the header, rather than in the sidebar. And I have the css for it, I just can't seem to make it work. *shakes fist*
Yes, smooshes will be administered to Meg posthaste. I've instructed her not to spend the day worrying about the possible snow, but I fear she hasn't followed those instructions.

Date: 2008-03-07 12:47 am (UTC)it's not supposed to start until friday afternoon/evening, though. and it's supposed to be over by saturday afternoon. it may be better if you can leave earlier or later than you had originally planned. if you left there saturday morning, you may make it here by the time it's over, but you'd probably be driving through it all day.
i'll leave it up to you, of course. i just want you to be safe, honey.
