Hmm, its sort of accepted but sort of not, you are right, I have hidden a div and placed that in there.. but the title is relevant to the page, but it has boosted our seo a little, it is a risky manoeuvre as if google catch it, they could possibility un-list us, but they have not as yet.

It is very sneaky but its also used in some other forums within the web design forum world, so we do need it just to keep up with the competition just to keep ourselves noticed.

sneeky lol :D

i was just wondering looking at your page where your header was, thought i might of been an image alt tag because i could not see that info anywhere.

why not just have the hidden info inplace of your webprocafe image and strapline? suppose the image would be very difficult to reproduce with text though.

was looking at having an image to display my page title like what you have with the logo and sitename as images but not sure if i should just use text?

thanks
Luke
