# 3. Blog Essentials - Font Size and Style

# 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-serif fonts with the help of my
virtual assistant. With the purchase of the Pro Blog Academy modules, I
received 40 hours of free "virtual assistance" as a bonus!

Where can QR Codes be placed?

Where can QR Codes be placed? The answer to this is almost anywhere! QR Code printing can be done in newspapers, magazines, brochures, leaflets and on business cards. Further to this they can be put on product packaging or labels, or on billboards or even walls. You could even tattoo a QR Code on your body - now that would be an interesting take on giving a girl/guy your number in a bar! You can use QR Codes on a website but they should not generally be used as a substitute for an old-fashioned hyperlink because obviously the user is already online and doesn't really want to fiddle around with their phone only to find a website they could have just clicked through to in half the time. If you have any questions or comments please contact me.

Optimize - Tweet Regularly

Optimize - Tweet Regularly This is the biggest obstacle for authors. But it is key to promotion. It doesn't matter if you only have two followers and one is your mom, you still need to tweet daily, to be effective. If you don't have something to write, then RT something funny or useful. Another way is to connect your blog to your twitter account, then every "post" you write is automatically "tweeted" on Twitter.

What Is Internet Website Content?

What Is Internet Website Content? Content is made up of multiple elements, and is primarily the; * On-page visible text * Images and image Alt text * Anchor text in hyperlinks to internal or external pages * Hyperlink titles in links and menus * The descriptive Title and Description meta-data In the context of Google, a picture is NOT worth a thousand words! Moreover, words must be accessible, not embedded in images or Flash movies, JavaScript, slide shows etc. In 15 years as an SEO consultant, if there's one common denominator evident on websites, it's that there is a profound reluctance to expend time, money, and creative energy on unique text content. Brevity is the watchword - economical use of words is encouraged by design, branding and marketing advisers! * The branding gurus want you to use the textual equivalent of sound bites - bullet points and short sentences! * The website designers want the entire content of the page to be above ...
