| TOPIC: |
Introducing sIFR
Scott will be introducing sIFR 2.0, a method of inserting
rich typography into web pages without sacrificing accessibility, search engine
friendliness, or markup semantics. sIFR is meant to replace short passages of
plain browser text with text rendered in your typeface of choice, regardless of
whether or not your users have that font installed on their systems. It
accomplishes this by using a combination of javascript, CSS, and Flash. It is
this technology which provides the nice looking custom type headlines you see
on sites like Nike, ABCNews, Aston Martin, and others. |
Looking forward to seeing you all there!
