I got my current job in web development largely because of volunteering in the old LJ "customization" category many years ago - I loved making layouts for people, whether through customizing the styles or just using CSS overrides, and that's what started me on learning CSS to begin with.
When LJ went to the S2 system, I was completely baffled, and pretty much learned enough to make a layout that did essentially what I wanted, but was too confused to learn more. With my new job, though, I have gotten the chance to make layouts and learn new skills (currently spending my shifts teaching myself PHP with a bit of MySQL), and I'm remembering how much I like it. I'd just been thinking recently I should really sit down with the S2 system soon and learn how it works - and then I found out about this! Excellent timing. ;)
