I've written a new article on my website about the meaningless job titles these days. Please read and enjoy.

No offense, but lame article. All the job titles you claim are new today were around back then as well.

It is a satire on where the industry is headed.
I did mention in the second and third paragraphs that these titles might have existed earlier.

page footer: have you tested that on different browsers ?
on IE 9 it finds the page bottom and then if you scroll it stays on top of the text that was the bottom and does not float down the page.
i would just make a standard bottom of content footer that will work in all browsers and not be messed up when the reader of the page tries to scroll down it.

Same thing happens in IE8.

Yeah, I tested it and know it doesn't work in IE.

I need to make some time to fix that. It isn't on the list of priorities, though. But I'll get around to doing that this year, definitely.
I am actually going to redo my website (UI remaining same) in ASP.NET MVC. When I do that, I'll fix all UI issues as well. Thanks for pointing out.

Why can't you set position to relative?

The footer is misbehaving because you are in quirks mode on this page.
Just add
<!DOCTYPE HTML >
as the first line of the document.
This will put you in to standards mode and the footer should be fine

@cbae: OMG! I can't believe I had 'absolute' on the footer. Well, I guess it happens some times. Thanks for spotting that.
I did that and it got fixed for almost all pages, except two and there's a whole bunch of other problems cropped up now.
I'll need to invest more time in this. So, I've shelved it.
@Geoffreyk: Thanks. I'd tried that as well. Some pages got fixed, some others had some other problems.
I will need to invest a few days to reconsider the document structure and re-do the CSS, and also centralize some more CSS that is currently inlined.Thanks, guys.

no matter what you do, you need to have the doctype as the first thing in the document. Without it, IE will revert back to quirks mode, and you will never get your pages to look right. Granted, you may have other troubles too, but trying to work in quirks mode is a short path to insanity. Trust me, I have been there.

In geeks we trust ...
Don't worry, I have heard that in September everything switches to HTML5 and starts working ...

You should always have a <!DOCTYPE> at the top of the document. Otherwise the browser has to guess, and usually guesses wrong.

For HTML5, use <!DOCTYPE html>

re: the DOCTYPE. I know I must. I'm saying if I do it now, I'll have to invest more time getting the pages that get screwed up if I do working again. That's a time-investment I want to shelve off until I get around to doing it.
