| Adobe Fireworks CS5 : Extra Credit (part 2) - Stroking rendered text |
| The text in this example is a little rustic, and is in keeping with the color theme of the site—but without a stroke, it blends into the background elements too easily. While all the other text is fine, the Site C text on the squirrel’s sign has not yet been changed. You will do this now. |
