Is there any way of adding multiple strokes to your text in CSS. Lets say I have a heading, and want to add a outline stroke to it, and then a second stroke outside of the first stroke. I know I can use multiple text-shadows, but I want the outline to be solid.

Use multiple text shadows on your text element to achieve what you want. For example:
text-shadow: 2px 2px 1px #fff, 4px 4px 0px #000;
Hope that helps, Placid

19,416 PointsI know you can add multiple text-shadows (as I mentioned in the question), but that doesnt really give two strokes. It gives two shadows. It would work if you could set the "size" of the shadow. But text-shadow doesent give you that possiblity.
