Making Headlines With Cascading Style Sheets -- "I covered ways of styling text with and without a headline as well as incorporating images all in an effort to grab your reader's eye. But don't just take these examples as-is. Play around with them and experiment. Build off of these examples and push and prod them to make interesting effects on your own."

Oh for PNGs with alpha channels in IE/Win!

There are so many benefits to designing with CSS with only legacy browsers standing in the way.

It's incredibly frustrating that Microsoft's lagging with PNG support. There's an impressive workaround for IE5.5+ for Windows which uses IE DirectX filters, but I've not used it myself.

I've been using CSS for a long time, but recently it's been refreshing to be able to do far more with it as v4 browsers fade away and even Win IE5 is becoming less of a concern. In my day job we're working on a UK government site which uses CSS for everything except defining columns, other browsers either get unstyled content or a simplified design without the fancy touches (boxes round things, bulletted navigation lists nicely styled, etc.). Hopefully after launch we'll be able to smugly show it off as an example of applying modern Web standards.
