Blog and online portfolio for web designer Sarah Tebo

I’m extremely susceptible to the power of suggestion, especially when it comes to food, so when I saw a post by Joy the Baker with a recipe for sugar cookie ice cream sandwiches, I became obsessed with making my own. I considered several different varieties of cookies and ice cream before I decided on Snickerdoodles and vanilla (Mayfield, of course).

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.

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.

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!

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.
