Today's question comes to us via a random message from a random stranger. "Dear 3232 Design," random stranger asks, "haters are my biggest fan." Excellent question, random stranger. You know, behind every successful person is a pack of haters. Keep hatin'. Next question:

Dear Design Guru,
How much does a website cost?
P.S. Where's my T-shirt.
One of your loyal six readers

Dear OOML6R,
You are correct. You have clearly read my entry on how much a website costs. Give me your address and shirt size and I'll mail you your 'LOYAL 6' T-shirt.

Dear Designer,

Good question. Since you didn't leave your name, I'll call you Knobby. Well, Knobby, to answer your blank question, you have to actually type letters using your keyboard after clicking in the box on the contact form but before clicking 'Send Missive'. For example, if you wanted to type in your name, you'd click on the box under the label 'YOUR NAME:' and type in "Knobby". You'd apply the same process to the other boxes, including the one labeled 'MISSIVE:' and ending with the captcha. Once you have completed these steps, then and only then should you click on the submit button.

Dear 3232 Design Blog,
What's the difference between a CSS stylesheet and college?
Long overdue lurker

Dear LOL,
One is a rigidly hierarchical structure containing classes, and the other is a great place to get laid. Here's another one: How many designers does it take to change a light bulb? One. But he'll complain the whole time about how his original 'darkness' concept was more on-message.

Well, that about wraps it up for this installment of Ask a Designer. Tune in next time when we answer more questions, hopefully about design and marketing for small businesses.
