Howdy, I'm Sarah
I'm Sarah. I make web sites and do print design. My background is in journalism, including writing, photography, design and internet work. I've been doing Web and print design for several years. I specialize in clean, grid-based design. I'm based in Rome, GA, but I'm happy to communicate with you via phone and e-mail if you're somewhere else. In addition to design, I can also help with photography for your project, as well as writing information such as staff biographies and company histories.
Pretty web typography with the Google Font API
Google has recently released a tool to help make the typography in websites prettier. The Google Font API — currently in beta — is a super-easy, free way to incorporate non-standard fonts in a website, and still maintain accessibility and search-engine friendliness. You can see it in action on my website, which uses the Lobster font in the headers.
Twitter’s most entertaining
I follow more than 100 people on Twitter. Some are friends, some are celebrities, some are businesses and some defy description (I’m looking at you, S*** My Dad Says). While I enjoy reading all their tweets, there is a handful of accounts that are always entertaining, an that I really look forward to reading. There are several celebrities on the list, but they’re not all famous folks.
How did I not know about cake mix cookies?
I bake a lot, especially cookies. My specialty is butterscotch chip. So how did I make it 30 years into my life without knowing about cake mix cookies? For anyone else who may not know, the cookies use cake mix as a base, then you mix in whatever you want – nuts, chips, candies, etc. Holy moly were they easy!
Powered by WordPress
I’ve been a fan of WordPress for a long time, and have used it for several client sites, as well as my own personal blog. However, my main Web site, at sarahtebo.com, was always a static HTML page. I recently decided to start practicing what I preach, so for the past week or so, I’ve been working on converting my HTML files to a functional Wordpress theme.
Georgia = even vegetables are fried
I live in the South, land of the fried okra, and apparently even my Chicago-born mother isn’t immune to the siren song of sizzling oil. She recently gave me some zucchini grown by her friend Dina, and suggested I prepare them with her recipe for Fried Zucchini Cakes.
