Ordinary Fonts (Updated)

These are all free fonts, mostly from Google Fonts (hardly the only foundry, but free and highly functional, and easy to use). I’ve also thrown in a few “web safe fonts” – fonts everyone has and a lot of people still use – so don’t be embarrassed if you find yourself liking the most generic font there is, the one you just got through saying you never wanted to see again.

Get Your Featured Images in Landscape Proportions

At OT, we want landscape-proportioned images generally, and especially for featured images, and exra-especially for Top-Featured Images. Note: NOT the Author’s fault – no one told him. Plus I should have taken care of this when I first noticed he’d used a small/square image. In fact, I thought I had taken care of this. (Not one thing: 1000 others.)
