No Text in Link when in Calendar

First, to depend on the title attribute is just terrible usability. Nobody's going to know what that green pimple means -- so why put it there at all then?

I'm reminded of a recent article in Online Magazine by Darlene Fichter. It presents tips for developing websites based on her ten years of experience. Under the heading "Text Rules", she says:

The best way to hide a new program or service on your Web site is to create a special graphic image to promote it. Post this image on your site without any supporting text and it's usually overlooked. If you are skeptical about this point, take time to read the Poynter eyetrack studies, and then look at the results of your own testing. Text rules. There are a few exceptions to this, of course. If you can afford to give up one-third to one-half of your home page real estate, convert your graphic to an interactive rich media advertisement produced with a sizable production budget; then, a rich media ad can outperform text.

As to whether adding a description along side the graphic would "fill up" the page, I think I'll include a screenshot for people to decide for themselves.
