Being slightly geeky again...

This is just a little test to check that actually I can get my blogger RSS feed from anyone4tea.blogspot.com to import into Facebook, which - to be honest - is where most people seem to be sharing their news! ;-)

Anyway, once upon a time, I implemented the font-rendering engine for the main bit of software which our company produces - curiously, or perhaps consequently this led to a reasonable appreciation of the wonders of Typography. How, often the style of the text you include in printed material says almost as much as the words that you use.

eg.


says 'Unfussy, Official, Trustworthy'.


says 'A bit fun & fancy, but still with a technical and serious edge'.


says 'Old Fashioned, Official, Authoritative, but - with the .co.uk bit - we're still relevant!'.

Anyway. Those are just a couple of examples - check out sites like http://www.lettermade.com/ if you want to see more interesting bits and pieces.
