Inside a div, there is a picture that should have 10px margin in all directions from the DIV's
border. On the left bottom corner of the picture there is an about-image.
The picture is only displayed when its loaded in the DOM through jquery.
The problem is that the existence of the about-image dislocates the picture downwards as many pixels as the height of the about-image.
I am looking for the cleanest possible alternative to keep the picture inside the DIV and still display the about-image on top of it. Setting the picture as background will not work since i need the picture to load at once.
Any improvement on the #about css would be greatly appreciated.
