Regurgitating old web techniques seems to be somewhat of a trend I've fallen into recently, but as I see questions and non-existent usage of these important and basic techniques I feel obligated to help spread the word once again.
Here are a couple of great articles explaining what CSS sprites are, their purpose, makeup, and why no site has a reason to NOT be using this technique aside from laziness ( which is why my blog doesn't use them, <3 Wordpress ).
