Hello everyone,

I'm finishing up work on the design for the Refresh Hampton Roads page.
We have a chocolate versus strawberry versus vanilla decision. The site
is already image heavy with the large branding image so I'm not sure
that we want even more images. So, in the spirit of Refresh and its
mission - Web standards - which is preferable:

    - use of background images where text could be used for headings
    - use of font-replacement technology that doesn't work in all
      browsers. it will some day, it isn't yet
    - use of text only (the current implementation)

The text in question?
These header text strings from http://www.inkworkswell.net/refresh-hr/

    "What is refresh | Hampton Roads?"
    "our manifesto"
    "meetings"

The driving questions? What is the best practice? Which would reflect
best on our commitment to Web standards?

Reese
