…and I think it’s winning.
I can’t tell if the problem is that I don’t believe in the uncivilized hour of 5 am, or if 5 am doesn’t believe in me.

May 28th, 2010In Search of Bolder Type and a Font Outline

I’m in the process of writing a tutorial about how to add it to your own wordpress site, but I noticed today that it’s throwing a javascript error in IE (I know, errors in IE, what a shocker). I’ll figure that out and get some decent graphics to replace the plain white border that’s there now, and then you can look for a new tutorial on how to implement it on any wordpress site.
