rounding corners

    I have a lot of squares/rectangles with sharp corners in my blog. I’d like to round the corners a bit on these but I can tell it could be a challenge. Part of the reason for this is that my post title, meta info and post text are all within the same square. In reality it only appears that way. Each post is three rectangles that are designed in such a way as to appear as if they are one. So I’d have to probably code each of these elements in a unique way to make them appear together like a single post/text box with rounded corners.
    I guess what I’m looking for are some excellent examples of blogs that utilize rounded corners and also sites that offer information about how to do this.

    The simplest way is to use a graphic top and bottom. No doubt about it.

    Thanks for your answers guys. Somehow my day got busy and then I suddenly remembered I left a question here! I’ll be pondering the answers you gave me and figure out what to do. I am fairly positive my site would look a lot better if all these rectangles/squares were rounded on the corners. So I’m looking forward to figuring this one out.

    I hope you post back when you make the change. I’d like to see what you decide on.

    Root,
    Sorry, I need to back up a bit. What do you mean about top and bottom graphics? Do I draw a post box I would want to have and somehow get that inserted into the blog? Is there a site that shows how to do this?

    danithew. Lets try and help you in less than 100 posts. Think boxes. Your top and bottom graphics are going to go er as well top and bottom as backgrounds. Maybe sketch it out on paper. Your storytitle is cojoined. Brilliant. That will be our top box. Curvy corner graphic in there behindthe h3.
    The post is in .post. The bottom graphic is going in there. bg again. We will position them in the CSS. Get photoshop fired up and post when you are ready.

    Thanks Root. So we are talking about some drawing here. I’m at work currently but when I get a chance at home I’ll start creating some suitable box drawings. I must have a bad reputation or something … sorry, I’m not trying to elicit a hundred posts. 🙂
