weft

If you are using IE 5 and above the font in the title of each entry should now be a cool James Bond type font smile If you are using any other browser it will (should?) just show up as Arial.  This is done using Microsoft’s WEFT (Web Embedding Fonts Tool) which is possibly the most non-intuitive s/w I have ever used! 

The good thing about this is that it allows the use of almost any font you like without having to use static images that show text (text buttons for example)

I was originally going to use a handwrting type font for the entries but it was too hard to read huge chunks of scrawl – Chris Pirillo’s website is an example.

Anyway – it took a while but it really is nice to get it working smile

update: OK – so the bond font has gone only to be replaced by a comic book font almost everywhere. it’s a bit easy to go mad….. smile

…. another redesign. Frankly I blame Gina for giving me the redesign bug smile This one’s 100% CSS so should be easy to redesign – I might even have a go at skinning! Yeah right;)

My first post on this weblog was 19 March 2002. Well over a year ago and I can’t believe that I completely missed this momentous occasion!

I’m thinking about putting Lynda’s Today in History hack in for a bit of a laugh smile

screwed up

yep – a new look! Given my genuine lack of web related skill things are bound to be a bit screwed up around here for a wee while.

Missing are the search, links, stats and archives sections. Does anyone actually use them?

I have had no easy access to a PC for last couple of days and this will continue for at least the next week.  This means that updates will be infrequent and that emails will remain unanswered 🙁

We aplogise for any inconvenience this may cause…… wink

Mucho big, life changing stuff happening at the mo so there’ll be no updates for a few days (probably more like a week)

Hope y’all are keeping well.

what to do

This post was written by Marc in the category(ies) Site News 2 Comments »

I really have the urge to redesign this weblog! I want something much cleaner and lighter looking and also want to go with a single column design with separate pages for searching and archives. All of these ideas are going around in my head but I just can’t find the time to put them into practise 🙁

Oh well wink
