Until pretty recently web designers haven’t had too many options for adding custom typefaces to their site. The only ones we could reliably use were what are known as ‘web safe’ (a set of typefaces that are installed by default on all PCs – fonts like verdana, arial, Times… the usual suspects).
To get around this limitation designers used to create graphics for headlines, or use flash based scripts such as sifr. CSS3 allows for easy embedding of fonts on a page, surprisingly it’s supported well across all browsers.

Close up of waterfall at Crawfordsburn
We took a walk around the Glen at Crawfordsburn Country Park yesterday. Unfortunately quite a dull, flat sort of day but it’s a really nice place for a quick walk

Most Web Designers will tell you Internet Explorer is holding the web back. I’ve always taken a rather pragmatic view about the whole affair. It’s not up to us to tell people how to surf the web. It’s up to us to design for those people. I’m starting to re-evaluate that opinion though.

Washed up
Each Sunday some friends and I try to get out of the house and away from the screen for a few hours.
Last week we took a walk along the coastal path between Holywood and Bangor. The weather was blowy to say the least, but the sun shone (a bit too low, but at least it was out) and the sea air was good for the soul!
