I need geek aid, stat!

two things:

1) Are there any like, uber-skilled CSS-ers reading this who might be able to help me with some layout problems I'm having with a stylesheet? I've done pretty good so far, but there's just one thing that's completely stumping me. Also, I need help with IE compatibility with stylesheets - I have no idea where to start with hacks and whatnot.


2) Having to ask this question has given me a thought - Should I create a community along the lines of [livejournal.com profile] fandom_lawyers, called something like fandom_itgeeks or something? It would function in a similar way to fandom_lawyers. i.e. A place where you can ask questions of the IT experts (who are also fans!) watching the community about specific problems with IT you're having. Probably more web-IT than personal computer stuff.

Because, you know, I dig out and hang around a bunch of IT support boards when I have problems, but a lot of the times I really *don't* want to link to my website of gay porn and geekdom, yaknow?

So it would be a place for things like: I'm having trouble with positioning in my css stylesheet, or: does anyone know why this mediawiki extension isn't working for me? or: halp! I broke the php in my lj layout! So, a tech support resource for fandom webmasters.

So not necessarily the low-level stuff like "can someone make me an icon because I only have MS paint, lol!"

What do you reckon?

I think it's a great idea. *nodnod*
