in size. Want new content? Got a spelling mistake? Then you need to create a new image, using precisely the same tools and settings as for the other text rendered as images, then change the HTML (to add an ID if it is new content), and the CSS. That's more work than changing font tags or even inserting IMG elements. OK, so what's good about IR techniques? You get to use more fonts, and they look smoother (unless you have a Mac, when font smoothing already works well). John: These days, I, through westciv, do three or four different things when it comes to the web. We write software, particularly Style Master We publish training courses, guides, and so on We hold workshops And along with a couple of fabulously talented people we put on Web Essentials So let me cover off each of these in turn. Style Master is currently in beta testing for version 4. We are improving our existing features, but the key to us is to make CSS more accessible to designers. After all, it is more than anything a designers tool. So probably early next year keep an eye out for Style Master 4 that has quite a few features, indeed a whole way of working with CSS you simply haven't seen before. We are currently working with a number of really respected people in their fields to expand the range of courses and guides we currently offer. Andrei Herasimchuk, of Design by Fire fame
