- a splash of negative margins
- a sprinkling of negative word-spacing (although kind of optional, as I'll explain)
- and a couple of IE only rules
I'm sure it's already been done before by someone, but I thought I'd share anyhow.
Let me know your thoughts, and if you find any issues and such ...
Image semi-conscious : Dec 14 2009
A post in which I discuss a widely used "background-image instead of text" technique, given a little tweaking, to work when CSS and/or images are disabled.
