No, you won't find any navel gazing, political talk or Hollywood gossip here. But we are always searching the Internet for the newest trends and technologies in web development. So in addition to news about Quo Vadimus, also be sure to stop by our blog for regular contributions about the latest web techniques, tips and resources. (Hey, we did mention we're geeks.)
Over the last few years, I've enjoyed using the excellent sIFR technology to enhance the typography of headers and certain links.In fact, the headers on the home page of this site for the last year or so have been rendered with it. But I have to admit it's never been terribly easy to implement. As of today, I've started using a new solution called Cufon. Read full Post . . .
With the release of IE8 last week, and increasing support in all major browsers for W3C recommendations. I’m pleased to announce that we will no longer support Internet Explore 6.

Anyway, I'm sure there are post all over the web on how to do this, but I'm just posting it here mainly so I wont forget 
It's actually incredibly easy.
