1. what exactly makes these "web 2.0" buttons? they're just some shiny buttons... i mean you could use them in a web 2.0 application, but you could also use them for some plain html layout... just sayin

3. How are you going to make a button that has angled sides? This isn't really practical.

10. I just want to know how many layers you used,you never stated when you went to either the background or the layer you originally worked on.. that is really making it difficult to undertand

11. cool buttons ... but using the "web 2.0" has no sense. those are just images that can be present anywhere ...
