Currently, a good design choice is to use div tags with background images instead of actual img tags. Unfortunately, this doesn't gel very well with Sitecore, as it is much easier for a content author to do an upload of a new image, rather than doing a detach/attach operation on an individual image which already exists in the CMS. This essentially means that when the image is changed, a more technical person has to crack open the CSS file on the server and modify the path to the new image.
This is not an optimal situation, so I threw together a Layout for the frame, and then a Sublayout to parse through the Media Library and output CSS class definitions for each image in the Media Library in the following form:
.imagename {
background:url(/pathtoimage) 0 0 no-repeat;
39px;
40px;
}
Now our designers are happy too! However, the important part I learnt from this process was the following:
In order to 'finish the process', I made the Layout change the response type to "text/css" (because I'm a completionist like that, apparently). Much to my surprise, Sitecore changed the extension of the emitted item to have the .css extension without me having to do anything.
Clever, Sitecore....very clever.

Mostly, college students don't like the term paper format creating, nevertheless they still must demonstrate their essays writing technique! Therefore, some presentation and speech writing service should be a good assistant for research papers writing.
