CSS

I have been awaiting the launch of the font-face.com service launch for a while now. The ability to make use of the @font-face css formatting was tantalisingly close.

However on a recent visit to the site I learned that dissapointingly font-face.com have decided to withdraw from the market following Googles recent announcement to enter the fray.

So you want to highlight a quote, a testimonial or some inspirational words. How to do this with clean code? No more messing with about with bullets, background images and yet more images into the bargain. Here we have a simple solution using CSS only.

A new feature of CSS3 is the ability to create rounded corners with border commands. This is one of my personal favourites, which whilst doing nothing for functionality - does contribute to the aesthetics of a rendered page.

I will be creating a series of articles based around the upcoming CSS3 version new functions and options.  Some of these functions are already available, to a degree, with browsers such as Firefox and Safari.  Each of the following articles will have examples with code as a starting point for you to develop further in your own work.
