CSS Sprite is a technique to reduce the number of requests the browser makes
to the server by combining 'many' images into a single image. CSS is then used
to display a portion of this large image to the user in place of the single
image.
This is all well and good but for most people sticking together lots of
images and working out the display co-ordinates won't be a whole lot of fun.
Enter CSS Sprite Generator.

back a single image along with the requisite CSS to display. Resulting in a
faster loading web site with minimal effort.
There are a few other sites that have the same functionality
