  1. Hello Graham

    Thank you for sharing these interesting CSS3 posts.

    The only problem that occurs with using CSS3 is that a number of browsers do not support it, especially IE which could cause problems. After reading this post, I will look at using CSS3 a lot more within my development. Number 4 is very interesting, as I haven’t seen animated buttons before. This is something that I am interesting in looking into and will see how this can be incorporated in the future. Another useful point which I came across was http://www.css3maker.com/. This is a very useful website, giving you the ability to generate the correct code for the required effect much easier.
