It is a great example of a garden path sentence.

Our brains’ initial parse of that sentence, while sensible and probable, is incorrect. That is, the mind really wants to interpret “...for work, my website, and all...” as a list, but that leaves a dangling clause!

The sentence is grammatical but confusing.
