Today’s Tip:

If you want to use custom fonts on your site make sure it is just for titles and limited areas. There are a few different techniques available and each offers their advantages. Make sure you choose the appropriate one for your situation, their is no one solution that works for everyone. What ever your end result is make sure you are not compromising your visitors needs. Text still needs to be available to search engines and screen readers, in addition visitors also need to copy and paste text as they normally would. Don’t let pretty fonts impact the usability of your site.

    Typekit (or any @font-face solution) is not Flash. It looks like they’re using something akin to sIFR.

    Thanks for the mention, Nick. I just saw this – haven’t paid much attention to my stats lately, and missed the incoming link. It was good hanging with you at #heweb10.
