just for interests sake as well, another example of usage of jpg/gif. The montage on the front page of accyweb is actually several different pictures just put next to each other. Because JPG makes things blurry with the compression the first two images on the left (which contain the solid colour text)are saved in gif, whilst the photo style images are saved in jpg. Now if you actually compare the file sizes of these images you will realise that the gifs are in fact larger!! So the reason for using gif in this example is because it makes text look far sharper than with jpg....
