View the post on WebDesignDev “16 gorgeous web safe fonts to use with css” to get an idea of fonts you can use safely.

However I recently discovered @font-face

@font-face allows you to specify fonts you have uploaded to your server to display text on your web sites. This means you no longer need to rely on the limited number of fonts your users have on their own computers.

I recommend using it mainly on Headings like I have done here at Bling Bling Bookkeeping especially if you are using a complex looking font, as it won’t display nicely at a smaller size such as 10px.

A great resource for implimenting this technique can be found at Perishable Press and agreat reource for @font-face kits which contain all required font formats and example code can be found at Font Squirrel.

I’ve gone for a whiter, brighter look and feel with a minimal colour palette to allow my portfolio pieces to shine.

I have incorporated Red Green and Blue (RGB) into my new logo and site design , in reference to the colour format used for screen display ie. used in web design.

I built this site on the Wordpress platform, creating my own theme using themeshaper’s framework as a blank canvas.

The Main Nav icons are courtesy of Tutorial9 and the Social Icons are courtesy of  webtreats.

I came across a fantastic JQuery Slider months ago and am glad I have been able to take it and give it my own flavour. So thanks to CSS-Tricks for their Anything Slider Plugin.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the Dutchism Overhaul. Feel free to drop a comment.
