Expression

Last nite I was doing a little reading and snooping around some unknown territories... sooo much information and knowledge out there! I wish I could absorb it all!

Found a few new discoveries along the way....

I saw this once before, and thought how I should bookmark it to show to my clients. Many people are still not aware that you need to use a typeface that is fairly common if you want visitors to view your site the way you created it. Code Style posted results from a survey that they did of the most common reported fonts on the Windows platform (there's a list of common Mac fonts as well). So that's a handy dandy reference if you're unsure of which typefaces to use on a site.

Then, I also discovered a drawing program, called Expression 3, that you can download for free from Microsoft. Only thing, as I was playing with it, there are a lot of tools that I couldn't figure out, and will take MUCH playing around with to get the hang of it. There are links on the Microsoft page to places that discuss the software (love the colors on her site), but it's all still rather vague.

Maybe I'll mess around with it this weekend... maybe.

I also got lost in Taz's extensive linkage pages (her site seems to be down at the moment), and eventually went into overload mode and had to stop. Besides, the birds were chirping, and as I've mentioned before, that makes me nervous and I know that I should get to bed.

Anyhooo... hopefully all of that browsing has inspired me to be creative today.
later kids.
