I don't know about you guys, but it usually takes me a very long time to finish one DIV .. maybe about 3 hours at least. I wanna know how long it takes you guys, cause I think I'm a really slow worker.
 Btw, mods please delete this if it's already been polled before.

Well I've only made a couple DIVs before so I can't exactly say.
It usually takes me a long time though, most of the time actually being to Photoshop something. |

First one took all day. I was a noob though, so, it made sense.
My second one..a grand total of 10 minutes. I used the same code, just changed what needed to be changed. Haha. I'm so cheap. |

Well, for me to make the graphic and be satisfied with it takes like a span of a day or two. lol. About an hour or two per graphic, sometimes more, sometimes less.
And then it takes about 30min to an hour or two to code it. Depends how complicated the layout is. -_- Usually I don't work on something for a day straight. I work on it over a few days because then I see what needs to be fixed and I get more ideas and what not =] |

Haha. Yeah, I wish I could just change the graphics and keep the same code structure, but somehow my layouts just have to look different everytime.

QUOTE I used the same code, just changed what needed to be changed Psh I do that with most of my layouts. I have like 5 different base codes for 5 different types of layouts like a layout with comments, or a layout without comments, a frame layout or a 2 column layout, etc. It's so much easier. I don't see the point in always starting over with a new code XD aha. QUOTE or those of you who said 3+ hours, I have a tip for you. Oh yeah? And what's your tip? The majority of my time falls into the design portion, not so much the coding. =] |

You can get fresh air and you can see something beyond the computer screen.
 .....................Then make a note to get yourself a camera. |

It takes me a couple days (1-3) because I don't just do it all on one day, that's how lazy I am. (x
Sometimes I say to my self, I'll try to do a satisfying graphic one day, than the next day will be coding. But if it was in a day, it would be a couple hours. |

yeah... i get lazy sometimes and use the same stylesheet from some of my other layouts... so it takes me a hour or less to do the images and maybe 10 mins to test and edit the codes a bit... and wala a new layout lol
