If you look closely, you may notice that the above headline written in a blue font has a faint shadow seemingly appearing under each letter. Similarly, this text is in a window that appears to be floating above the page due to a shadow that borders it on two sides. These shadows are obtained using the CSS 3 text-shadow property.
In this tutorial, you will see various effects that one can obtain using text shadows. Note that while the text-shadow property is part of CSS3, some browsers differ in the way they have implemented it. In particular, I have found that Firefox tends to create "blurs" that are a lot more blurry (i.e. spatially spread out) than webkit-based browsers (Chrome and Safari) - these three being the only browsers that I do tests in.
