If you watch the video, you&#8217;ll see that if you give a group description a title image, the title image is drawn on top of the text, which is, not to put too fine a point on it, hideous.

Of course, if you&#8217;re not using group descriptions, then go ahead and use title images; they look fine on their own. <\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.technet.com\/james\/\">James Senior<\/a>     posts     <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.technet.com\/james\/archive\/2008\/11\/03\/more-pdc-2008-stats.aspx\">     more monkey facts<\/a> about the PDC     as well as a     <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.technet.com\/james\/archive\/2008\/11\/17\/behind-the-scenes-at-pdc-the-keynote-timelapse.aspx\">     time lapse video of the keynote room being set up and torn down<\/a>. <\/li>\n<li>     <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xirrus.com\/\">Xirrus<\/a>     issued     <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xirrus.com\/cgi-bin\/press_releases.cgi?id=236&amp;template=1\">     a press release on how their devices were used to provide     record-setting wireless connectivity at the PDC<\/a>. <\/li>\n<li>     <a href=\"http:\/\/weblogs.asp.net\/jgalloway\/\">     Jon Galloway<\/a>     gives a behind-the-curtain look at     <a href=\"http:\/\/weblogs.asp.net\/jgalloway\/archive\/2008\/11\/24\/looking-back-at-microsoftpdc-com-from-the-inside.aspx\">     how the microsoftpdc.com Web site was built<\/a>. <\/li>\n<li>     In case you didn&#8217;t know,     <a href=\"http:\/\/code.msdn.microsoft.com\/PDC08WhitePapers\/Release\/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=1797\">     Windows 7 Developer White Papers<\/a>     are available for download.
