I recently setup an account with Typekit.com. If you haven’t heard of TypeKit before and you’re a web designer, you should take a look at it. TypeKit is a subscription based service that allows you to embed fonts into your webpages that would not otherwise be one of the 10 web safe fonts. For me this has been a real pain over the years when you start designing a site and are stuck using one of the 10 fonts when they just don’t quite flow with the design. I setup a “Portfolio” account that allows for custom fonts to be used on up to 5 websites. I was able to setup a kit and add a font to it and then embed the code in my CMS template and then use the CSS selectors to place the font on my pages content. What an amazing difference from using the old fonts for all those years! Checkout Typekit.com and start escaping the inflexibility of the safe 10!

Anyone who owns a few domain names has probably seen some type of mail from DROA. They like to send out an official looking letter that says your domain is about to expire and that for $30 they take over your domain name (the one you paid $10 for) and manage it for you. Many of my clients who I have registered their domain names have fallen for this letter and paid the company for their domain. Since I lock all my domains to transfers, I start getting emails saying that in order for the transfer to take place I need to unlock them. I then contact the domain owner and inform them that this company is sleazy at best and to never fall for these letters. Why pay a company 3 times the normal amount to manage a domain? Please beware of this company and their shady business practices. Always contact the guy that bought the domain for you or at least someone that is knowledgeable enough to look into your domain and tell you your options.
