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.
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.
Helping re-launch Photography by Tricia
My friend Tricia is a great photographer and really sweet girl, so of course when she asked me to help her re-launch her portfolio site I said yes. Previously, her site had been a standard Flash-based site – the kind used by many photographers – and she wanted something different and easy to update. She’s already blogging on Wordpress.com, so I suggested she use a self-hosted Wordpress installation as her portfolio site.

She wanted to be able to share videos online, with minimal fuss and no technical skill, and wanted the videos to be accessible only to those she wanted to see them. It was a pretty obvious choice to use WordPress, because of its ease of use. Here’s a list of the other applications and plugins I used to set up their site.
A simple, styled table
So how many elections did we have last year? Seems like at least a dozen, though it was probably only about half that. For the bigger elections, like the primaries and the November general election, the Rome News-Tribune had full results pages to show vote totals as they came in. In the smaller elections, though, I just made a simple HTML table that the numbers could easily be inserted into.
