From Jennifer Kyrnin, your Guide to Web Design / HTML
Web designers and developers may get annoyed at one another, but one thing that makes them stand together are Project Managers. Plus, I'm announcing a new feature - post your blog on my site. If you run a Weblog about Web Design or a related topic (CSS, Web programming, HTML, etc.) you can submit it to my site to be featured in my Blogroll. This week's software pick of the week helps you test font stacks. And the poll is about what you think of yourself. Have fun!

Project Managers Can Be Useful, But They Can Be Annoying
Last week I posted about some of the many ways that Web designers and Web developers can get on each others nerves. I then received a couple comments saying that that was what Project Managers were for - to make sure that the team members communicate. Well, I'm not arguing that point, but it made me start thinking about project managers - and if there's one thing that will make feuding designers and developers band together, it's in their hatred of Project Managers. :-) I have worked on many projects that wouldn't have been completed without the PM, but I have also been on many projects that were desperately hindered by the PM. And even good PMs have annoying tendencies. You might even argue that that's what makes them a good PM.
