I have upgraded to WordPress 3.0. It’s very impressive the amount of work that so many people have put into this platform. It still amazes me how good this platform is and it keep getting better. Now I need to really check out WordPress.tv and get to playing around with creating some plug-ins.
There is a good overview of what’s new in WordPress 3.0 available on the WordPress blog. It has been embedded below. The features I want to play with most are the custom posts and the multi-user blogs.
I have been playing around with the Google Font Directory and the Google Font API. This is a new offering from Google which allows for the use of their open source fonts on any website. It is extremely easy to use, all that needs to be done is to add a link to the font, and then specify it in the stylesheet. In the case of this blog, I am using Droid Sans font. To use this font I added this to my WordPress theme’s header.php file:
<link href=’http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Droid+Sans’ rel=’stylesheet’ type=’text/css’ />
And this to the style.css file:
body{ font-size:14px; font-family: ‘Droid Sans’, arial, serif;;line-height:14px;}
and Voila!
There is a Getting started guide that details what fonts are currently available and how to use them.
I have moved my blog to a new server and have not migrated any of the content yet. Lately I have moved away from development so will not be posting any of the previous code that was here. You can contact me thru this site if you are after any of the code that was previously available.
