# 3. Blog Essentials - Font Size and Style Most web designers agree that a 12-14 pt font is best. You can use up to 3-4 different font sizes throughout your blog. More than that and it looks junky. When choosing a font style, keep it simple and avoid the fancy fonts. Know that not all computers can display all fonts. Choose fonts that are considered "Web Font Safe." These are available on most computers. Examples of Web Font Safe fonts are: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, Geneva and Veranda. These fonts are san-serif, fonts that do not have little hooks or serifs on the end of the letters. Not having these hooks makes it easier to read the text on our computer monitors. Have you noticed? I have the "hooks" at the end of each letter. The hooks almost make the lettering look like script. I knew something was off but not until I was researching material for this blog did I realize what the problem was. So with my next blog you will see san-...

# 5. Blog Essentials - Headings All headings should be bolded and/or underlined. Place your headline on the left side of your blog. this will support the results from the study on F-shaped pattern eye tracking. Use multiple subheadings to break up each section of your blog material and again this makes it easier to scan, stop and read. If you have any questions or comments please contact me.

How Websites Make Money Off of Us Here are 10 tricks that websites use to make money off of us: 1. Adware - As if your proclivity for shopping online isn't enough of a financial burden, now these websites are collecting your shopping info so they can sell you even more unnecessary stuff. I don't need someone keeping track of my spending habits, unless it's my accountant. And now that I think about it, I'm not really so sure about him either. 2. Pop-up ads - Sure, you can filter them out, or just close them yourself. for the most part; but then there are the ones that move around when you try to click on them, or activate an ad regardless of where you click the window. I honestly don't know how this seemed like a good idea for sales, but I guess it must work on some people because they just keep popping up. 3. Selling your personal info - Why does every e-merchant need to know that you've just purchased an ionic air humidifier for R1...

Avoid Duplicate Content Penalties Large search engines attempt to filter their search results by removing any results that duplicate the content of other search results.

Some webmasters try to use duplicated content in an attempt to manipulate and influence search engine rankings. The search community still occasionally debates the legitimacy and existence of duplicate content filters, but whether they exist today, or will exist tomorrow, is really irrelevant. Most webmasters have simply accepted the fact that the duplicate content penalty is currently enforced by at least some of the major search engines. With that in mind, how does the search engine determine which version of the cont...
