It seems that one of the only solid solutions for ensuring that the Google Fonts display properly is, much to my friends‘ delight, to “get a Mac.” Will Moyer has one of the only viable fixes, a 0.0000000001-degree rotation that fixes the issue in Webkit browsers like Chrome. For Firefox, we have to wait for [...]
I’d really like to be able to use the Google Fonts API on my website, but so far I haven’t seen very good results with how their fonts are rendered on Windows. I’ve been searching off and on for why this happens and have determined that at least on my system, the problem lies with [...]
Michael Martin of Pro Blog Design seems like a swell chap, but his recent post on applying the GPL to premium Wordpress themes exemplifies the kind of erroneous thinking I frequently find in the creative community.

When I launched the site a few weeks ago, I stumbled across a Wordpress design contest hosted by WPWebhost. I decided to toss my hat into the ring and it turns out that out of 58 entries for the “Modern & Elegant” category, I was selected to be one of the ten contestants in the [...]
Well, I’ve finally managed to get this new layout off the ground. I learned a lot the first time around, and I think what I’ve done this time is far superior to what I had before. Of course, I’m still a little low on the content for the Professional and Creative areas, as I had [...]
I am so close to switching over to my new site design. I’m being a bit of a perfectionist over a few details but I’m extremely excited about how it’s going to look. Over the next few days mistypedURL is going to be a much better place – perhaps almost as awesome as omgwtfbbq1.
