    Hi,

    Anyone know of a good resource for creating text effects using css?
    Something like drop shadows ???
    I have found the code for drop shadows but im wondering if there are any other cool effects i can use on standard text using css?

    CSS isn't really made for "effects" - static text effects are best acheived with images, created with software like Photoshop and GIMP.

    Animated text effects are best acheived with Flash or Javascript.

    Hope this helps! ^.^

    or look into the GD library to convert text to images on the fly.
