How to make steps w/bricks

[David Feyen]

I am considering replacing my old, crumbling front sidewalk with brick. I've found plenty of resources about methods of laying brick, but I have one problem area. My sidewalk ends at a set of 2 poured concrete steps, which are also in disrepair. The steps drop a distance of aprox 18". From the steps, we butt right up to the city sidewalk. Any advice how to replace the old steps with bricks to keep the same look?
