@Rick - I have always preferred the knife tool even though it involves an extra click. I have never really used the pen tool, not sure why... just dont digg it.

David, I think next time rather use some screen capturing software to show how to create a blunt corner or any other demos. Its way to blurry to see what you did!
Great idea nonetheless!

@JBagley - I know, it was spur of the moment stuff and decided to upload just to see the reaction from one or too CSS submission sites.
But next time I definitely want to use some screen capturing stuff because I think we can do many more tuts.

I like the small "blunted" corners. I think they add to the shape but are subtle enough not to be a distraction. :)
Its interesting to see the way some one else uses fireworks. Pretty much the same as me, except I think I can honestly say Ive never used the knife tool lol. If I need an extra point on a path I pick the pen tool again and click on the line (on a selected shape). But I guess we all use programs in different ways :)
