Only so much you can do with css typography!!
Instead of like...font: normal 10px helvetica; you could do...
font-style: helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 10px;More work for the same settings!

so all you ppl bitching have different CSS image replacing techniques? or you not all just using something you found? One of the pillars of the internet, inherent to its very structure, is the free flow of information. CSS is freely available, it's meant to be shared whether you like it or not.
I don't condone stealing layouts but if someone starts off with some CSS and does something nice with it, why not?

"Look, rock and roll is what? Three chords? A pentatonic scale? How many different songs are there from just that? It's just a couple of different progressions that work and you recycle them over and over again. No need to reinvent the wheel son. You don't have to be Emerson, Lake and Palmer to get a blowjob in this town, you know. The girls don't care about arpeggiated 9th chords in 7/8 time."

Hey man, if you're defending it this much I'd guess you've got the guilt!
I think it's a rip, btw.
At least build your own css file. Then it's okay — like print designers.- <-- read with some sarcasm.********
- sounds like you've got the guilt too :pJnr_Madison

OK, I took this, and it sits in a page of 120 lines of css code now..:
p, blockquote, li, h1, h2, h3, ul {
font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;
font-size: 9px;
line-height: 14px;
text-align: left;
color: #717171;
}pullquote {
font-variant: small-caps;
font-size: 11px;
color: #2A9BC5;
font-family: Arial;
}Am I dirty theif? Because pylon has me branded and lynched me already.

talent imitates, genius steals... so if you make more of it then bravo, but if you're just copying with no idea of furthering it, or making it your own, then retire.

Hey man,
I wouldn't behead you or anything. I'd just cut of your fingers. Or at least I'd remove your apple, C, and V keys from your machine. ;)I'm joking. Just show us the awesomeness of your design when you're done!
