I really agree that plain old text really help on SEO thus using this would make your website not bound to old text formats making your website more attractive and hip in some ways.

Jeff, a “water glistening/shiny look” on regular HTML text is impossible. Standard CSS doesn’t do gradients or lighting effects. There are a few techniques you can use but they involve using Photoshop or Gimp or something similar. Check out http://www.webdesignerwall.com/tutorials/css-gradient-text-effect/

I sure would appreciate your expert wizened advice: What type font colors might be available to show a water glistening/shiny look? I’m specifically interested in something along the lines of a gradient: yellow to darker orange. The look that I am so very desirous of achieving seems impossible to find or do: happiness.

I’m looking to apply this special font colorization treatment to the first word of our company name (and website): HappierCouples.com

Thank you.

Have been looking at cufon myself. For a nicely done implementation of this technique check out Vic Franqui’s new site http://victorfranqui.com/

Hi Norman, I’ve been looking at http://wiki.github.com/sorccu/cufon/about for some future projects. It seems like a nice alternative method for font replacement.
