Question: How do I have my website visitors view my fonts even if they don’t have them installed on their computer?

Filed under: Web Design & Develop

Answer:

I usually stick with the widely installed fonts: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Monaco, Helvetica, Georgia, and Times New Roman.

However, if you insist on using an unusual fancy-prancy font, you can save the text as an image instead. Simply create a graphic in your favorite image editing program, and put your text in it. All your visitors will see the font you want them to see!

Question: How do I add a subject to my “mailto” link?

Filed under: E-mail

Answer:

Simply copy and paste the following code. Be sure to replace you@yourdomain.com with your own e-mail address and TEST SUBJECT with your own subject.

<a xhref=”mailto:you@yourdomain.com?subject=TEST SUBJECT”>E-MAIL ME</a> with any questions.

SAMPLE: E-MAIL ME with any questions.
