I'm going to keep that in mind while I'm designing <a href="http://littlesorters.com/" rel="nofollow">Little Sorters</a>. I was going to do this month's CSS Off, but I was absolutely swamped with other things yesterday. I'm definitely planning on trying it out the next time around. Your current entry looks like a sure thing! I didn’t think about the possible inaccessibility using background images for the products, but that makes sense.

Re the hover effects, i enjoy using them (see nav above) but the judges actually ruled against me in using them on the merchandise. Their reasoning (and I agree with them after thinking about it for a while) was that products should have their own images, not just background images, so that with css off, the product images still show up. That's the best part of this contest: it helps you concentrate on all that tiny little semantic stuff. (Although the winning entry could use a little semantic help - see <a href="http://blog.neatlysliced.com/index.php/2007/06/css-off-june-winner-thoughts/" rel="nofollow">here</a> for some thoughts on that) @Brad - Is is fun.

I may give it a shot. I see you got a special mention for your hover effects on the date box. I saw you repeated the effect for the merchandise icons above the footer. Nice touch. Looks like fun.
