# Advanced Dropcap Function?

 * Hi!
    I found some fabulous dropcaps (in png or gif format) and I would like to
   use them on my blog.
 * Is there a php function, or any WP function I could use to do something like 
   this:
 * Pick the first letter in the first paragraph on the page and replace it with 
   the appropriate gif..?
 * I.e.
    ************************************************** CHOOSE CASE first_paragraph.
   first_letter CASE “A”, Put dropcap “a.gif” over the letter text CASE “B”, Put
   dropcap “b.gif” over the letter in the text.
 * etc…
    ********************************************* Or maybe there is a cleverer
   way of doing it?
 * You can view how I currently have it on [http://www.vikingprincess.net](http://www.vikingprincess.net)
   
   I don’t think it comes out very well though!
 * Any tips appreciated!
