Since this anchor is the child of div#dh-header, it is already higher in 
the stacking order (painting order) [1]. Absolute positioning or z-index 
is not required.

BTW, this CSS

#dh-header-wrapper {
   background: #1e1e1e url(../images/common/header-wrap-bkgd.png) 
repeat-x center top;
   height: 153px;
   width: 100%;
}

#dh-header {
   height: 153px;
   width: 830px;
   margin: 0 auto;
   background: transparent url(../images/common/header-bkgd.png) 
no-repeat center top;
   position: relative;
}

#dh-header a#project-logo {
   display: block;
   position: absolute;
   top: 2px;
   left: 0;
   z-index: 1;
   width: 276px;
   height: 108px;
   text-indent: -10000px;
   background: transparent url(../images/common/designhammer-logo.png) 
no-repeat 0 0;
}


could be simply this.

#dh-header-wrapper {
   background: #1e1e1e url(../images/common/header-wrap-bkgd.png) 
repeat-x center top;
        }

#dh-header {
   height: 153px;
   width: 830px;
   margin: 0 auto;
   background: url(../images/common/header-bkgd.png) no-repeat center top;
   position: relative;
}

#dh-header a#project-logo {
   display: block;
   width: 276px;
   height: 108px;
   text-indent: -10000px;
   background: url(../images/common/designhammer-logo.png) no-repeat 0 0;
}


I began to comprehend CSS much better when I took hold of the shovel.
