A lighter, brighter me

All thanks to Phoe (whose template is looking quite spiffy!) that I successfully made all these template changes this weekend.

One thing still bothers me though. I have a ton of typefaces on my computer because, well I'm a bit of a font-freak. I have my favourite typeface, Shelldon, and I've used it for the title. But on Tom's computer, and my computer here at work, it shows as Arial. I know that my title will only show as a typeface that is on the computer that is viewing it, unless I make the title a graphic. Adding a graphic up there is not something I'm up to doing right now... and I'd want it to be spiffier than what it is now, anyway. So, my question is, what are the typefaces that most commonly appear on computers?

(I just changed my typeface to Batang... does anyone have this?)

And, where the heck in the template to I change the typeface style and colour of the profile section? Obviously it's under profile, but nothing I do will change it from that hideous gray. *sniff*

Aha! Under Sidebar Content:

#sidebar
p { color:#00008b;
line-height:1.5em;
}

is where the profile text is changed!

I had the same problem with my title! I downloaded a really pretty one - KellyAnnGothic, but everyone else needs that one to view it on their computers. Boo hiss. . .

I had problems moving my profile information to be on the far left side - it always seemed to indent itself, but I couldn't figure out how to change it.

Frustrating. .

Your blog looks fabulous!

Okay, so for phoe and phoenix, post a list of all of the fonts that you use in your blogs, and where they can be downloaded. Once you have that list, I will download the fonts and then finally I will see both of your blogs exactly how you want them to be seen. Maybe for both of you you should add a new box on your blog that has this information for anyone else who may peruse your blog.

Thanks for the font link idea, Phil! Mine is on my page now, ready for download.

Good idea.

It is so weird that you have "The Rising" lyrics under your title...I have had that song on my mind lately for some reason and find myself humming it. Then BAM there it pops up on your blog. Spooooooky!

Well, good morning everyone! :)

Phoe-your title typeface is GORGEOUS. I'll download it at home. Thanks for the bloggy compliment. :)

Kudos to Phil, great idea!

Mindy--His music is timeless. I grew up listening to it because of my dad, and now I'm buying his cd's... modern music can't hold a candle to his, I think.
