CSS: Replace Image with Text

CSS Zen Garden is totally down. Don't know what's up with that. I hope it's back up soon since we have to submit a site for our web class and it's hard to look at the designs when they're not there!

So, I found an article explaining how to use images to replace text.

Here's a plug-in called Smartypants that's supposed to turn " into “,etc. (in other words, proper typographic marks). It's supposed to work for MT and BBEdit. I'll have to try it out.

Work Virus

The following was sent by a friend (sadly, from work):
There is a new virus. The code name is “WORK”. If you receive WORK from your colleagues, your boss, via e-mail, or from anyone else — do not touch WORK under any circumstances. This virus wipes out your private life completely.

If you should happen to come in contact with this virus, take two friends and go straight to the nearest bar. Order drinks and after three rounds, you will find that WORK has been completely deleted from your brain.

Forward this virus warning immediately to at least five friends. Should you realize you do not have five friends, this means you are already infected by this virus and WORK already controls your whole life. If this is the case, go to the bar and stay until you make at least five friends. Then retry. I think I have five friends but am not entirely positive…so I'm headed for the bar anyway. Never hurts to be safe.
