Icons in Markup #
I came across this demonstration of creating text-based icons totally in XHTML and CSS. I am not talking about images here because then we move into the SVG realm. But if you have an icon that can be represented in text, then this is a creative way to go.

I am always gung-ho for less images on a sight (as should be apparent from my rather graphic-barren sight), and if I can create a icon in text rather than embedding an image, I will now do so. However, I do not recommend using Marek's example of the W3C validation icon as this is covered by a copyright. |/css|
