CraigsList – What they really want…

I look at the Craigslist computer gigs ads on occasion and laugh at the silly stuff people put on their ads…  I know you’re trying to get a website or logo or something for cheap (cause it’s freakin’ Craigslist, but come on; at least lie a little…) but at least get creative with your ad…  Nobody wants to work for free…

For example – this one today said:

“We already have the web address and just need help managing the site. This would be a great project for a student or young designer to put in their portfolio”

What this means to me is:

“I’ve already paid $10 for this domain name; I probably have godaddy and want to host it on Godaddy – so I can use my free hosting credit.  I also have no budget; so please build me a shitty site from a template and don’t charge me more than $100.  I also want you to change the content 50 times over the next month (because I can’t afford for you to build a CMS); so please be prepared to waste countless hours on my site because can’t afford to pay you”  …

Also the ad mentioned that it was a site that sells clothing = my guess is that this one wants eCommerce too…

…yea; so needless to say I responded to the ad – will keep you posted LOL…

After I create a custom theme; I always forget about the CSS to control the image alignment controls .. Lol; so here it is:

img.centered {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

img.alignright {
padding: 4px;
margin: 0 0 2px 7px;
display: inline;
}

img.alignleft {
padding: 4px;
margin: 0 7px 2px 0;
display: inline;
}

.alignright {
float: right;
}

.alignleft {
float: left;
}
