Graphic headlines arent working, only a broken image appears on my site. I'm using Umbraco 2.1.7.

Using SIFR is in many cases also an option....

You might also consider ImageGen, which is very popular in the umbraco community. You can get ImageGen at http://www.percipientstudios.com/imagegen/overview.aspx. cheers, doug.

Imagegen is ok, but when SEO is important SIFR is a big plus.

I would agree with Sjors and I think sIFR3 is a good solution personally hence its used in my website package. Warren

Speaking of SEO, I'm using imageGen to generate graphic headlines and I too have thought about the implications of this when search engines are to index the pages. I'm not sure that this actually works, but I usually put a h1-tag around the page headline image and hope that the alt-text of the image will work as text. Sometimes I create double h1-tags where one is an image and the other is the headline in plain text. The h1 that surrounds the plain text headline is then set as hidden in the stylesheet. I'm not happy with this solution and I'd love it if anyone has any pointers or good websites with practical SEO tips.

This is actually pretty close to a good solution, that is used widely in CSS Zengarden, and also a good SEO option. Make your headline like this: <h1 style="background('/umbraco/imagegen.aspx?yourParametersHere')"><span>My headline</span></h1> And then use css in your stylsheet to hide the <span> part of the heading. See an example of it here: http://csszengarden.com/?cssfile=/209/209.css&page=0

sIFR3? Yes. I had tried to use it, but don't work into Umbraco, or maybe I'm not able to use it...
