I've always been wanting to do SVG, but at the last moment I get scared because I hear that some browsers won't support it and just show a blank space instead. So I end up exporting my Inkscapes to PNG and uploading 😛

This post has inspired me again, so let me ask—has the situation changed? Is SVG better supported now? With HTML5 and Canvas I'm guessing it has, but...just to make sure?

Yup, The support is great!

As mentioned in the story, all modern browsers going till IE9 have support for SVGs. IE8 and older Android native browsers(4.0 and earlier) are a problem right now, you can use the SVG with a .png fallback as a workaround for that.

A detailed support guide can be seen here: http://caniuse.com/#feat=svg

Oh, right. Thanks @alkshendra—I missed that section when reading it the first time 😛
