Since this blog is for my enjoyment, I’ve decided to use features not available in all browsers to make my life simpler. I’ll try to keep it functional for all browsers, but for the best experience you want to be using a cutting edge browser (I recommend Firefox 3.1 or WebKit). Why would I want to be cutting up rounded corner images and figuring out the right repeats and go through nested div pain when all I need is:

    -moz-border-radius: 6px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 6px;
    border-radius: 6px;
    -moz-box-shadow: #ccc 0px 0px 3px;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);

WebKit also has support for beautiful gradients. I wonder how many years before web developers wont need to suffer to use gradients, rounded corners, drop shadows and font embedding.
