What's it all about?

72dpi is my own little geek wonderland, to show my sites, to give things back to the community like Web Skins, photoshop & flash goodies, as well as a place to have the occasional rant.

Alert *Please note: The new forum integration means all existing members will have to re-signup via the forum. Sorry for the inconvenience..., but at least this way I can notify you of skin & plugin updates a lot easier.

A loading ImageOk, so you've seen it all before, this tutorial is nothing new, but it does bring a new way of making your site look dynamic, whilst still being accessible.

Whilst working on a recent job, I was stuck with the dilemma of needing header images to replace the
< h1> tag, which were still accessible. No probs i thought, there's plenty of tutorials online. I came across the perfect solution to handle this, but i still had an inherent problem of my heading images taking a while to load.

I have been toying with a few ideas, especially functionality. Whilst trying to avoid unneccesary code, I am also adding new functionality.

The template will be xhtml1 compliant, using div's for layout, and also implement the Subdreamer "unordered list" menu it currently uses now. (A milestone in menu systems for this CMS if you ask me).
