A couple of months ago I came across an article on http://css-tricks.com/ that explained how to display dates in a cool way using sprites. More recently I came across an article that does the exact same thing, only without the use of images. Check it out: http://snook.ca/archives/html_and_css/css-text-rotation.

Interesting article how margins, paddings and borders affect the width of a div. So no IE6 or IE7 plugins are needed just write good css code! http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_boxmodel.asp For more questions, just ask and I will try to answer them..
