Yes this is how I used to do it but I did read somewhere that some screen readers are now ignoring display:none - I don’t have any factual info though so don’t quote me

There is one minor issue I forgot to mention with hiding text, and that is users who have images blocked through their browser - They wont see the text either!

nice one,

I wonder how the screen readers go with using a heading1 and a inner span that is set to display:none ? you can then write a generic CSS statement:
h1 span { display: none; visibility: hidden; }

then your other h1 instances can be called like:
h1.myHeading { background: #fff url(images/header.gif) top left no-repeat; }
