Hey there people. I am just starting out using http://www.mikeindustries.com/sifr/ . And so far it looks extremely promising.

But it needs a lot of tweaking to get it right it seems, and I just don't know where to start. Anyone done any work with it before? The manuals are less than helpful unfortunately.

Right now it won't show up on anything but Safari either. What am I doing wrong here?

I've been wanting to try it, too, but the instructions for installing/using are just too hard to find, understand, and apply to my situation.

FWIW, I hear it is best to confine your use of SiFR to headings on your web pages, i.e., don't try to use it for body text!

Yeah, the lack of understandable instructions are disturbing to say the least. They have admitted that the current instruction and implementation are targeted towards JavaScript coders and not designers (ironically) and they hope to rectify that with the 3.0 release.

Speaking of which, I can't get that one to work either (nightly build 167).

Are you doing this?

SIFR Turorial.

Let me know if that helps.
