Stumble Upon Introduction

Dear Friends,

I thought I'd create an introduction page to help you find your way around my blog. So far I have information on the fonts that I like to use (and links to download those fonts if you don't have them and would like to) and some helpful guidelines to stumbling my pages. If there is something you'd like to see here that I don't have listed, feel free to mention it. If you have a question about something, feel free to ask it here also.

Periodically I like to see what the last page of my StumbleUpon blog is. Currently the last page is: 2780. If you'd like to see it, simply go to: http://teeg.stumbleupon.com/archive/3670/. If there is a particular page you want to see, use this formula instead: http://teeg.stumbleupon.com/archive/(insert page number here).

For example if you want to go to page 1100, then you'd use:
http://teeg.stumbleupon.com/archive/1100/ (make sure to include the last / or it won't work). Have fun exploring! :)

Every once in a while I'll post something using a font color or a font style that someone finds difficult to read. A few of you have been gracious enough to let me know when that happens, and I've tried to change my habits accordingly. While I was changing some of my posts the last time, I got to thinking about the different people who view my pages, and wondering how many of them see the pages the way I intended. Since Windows XP is my OS (operating system), I'm sure that people who use Macs or Linux probably have a hard time seeing the various fonts that I like to use. And often, the right font can mean the difference between something appearing thrown together and something that is aesthetically pleasing. So, I thought I'd create a font list and hopefully, eventually have links to each font where you can download it for free. If you have other fonts you like, please let me know. I enjoy playing around with various fonts (as you can tell from my page). :)

Finally, periodically I'll add links to any other helpful posts I've written. The most recent one will be at the top:
