A Comprehensive Guide to Free Fonts

September 26th, 2007 by Robin Tebrake

Font

It’s always difficult to find the right typeface for a logo or even a website. Here are some resources of free fonts but remember if your are using special fonts on your site less visitors will be able to see the site with the actual font and most see the site in a standard font. I recommend you to use rare fonts just for your logo but if you really want to use such a special font for your site be sure to declare alternative font styles in your stylesheet.

Free font resources:

Dafont.com offers user created free fonts. 7500 typefaces have already been submitted to Dafont.
Grsites.com has a big collection of about 6800 fonts, including a logo and button maker.
1001freefonts.com gives you 1001 fonts for nothing.
There are 11202 nicely categorized fonts on Abstractfonts.com. It’s one of the biggest free anthologies out there.

7 Amazing User-Tracking Services

September 12th, 2007 by Robin Tebrake

The market of free tracking services is full of good and bad tools. So I collected the best and most innovative tracking services that are available. They are useful for every webmaster to optimize/monetize his site and see what content is appealing to the masses.

google.com/analytics/ Google Analytics is a great user tracking service because it shows you most of all important information you need about your visitors like where they from, what site referred them (and links, keywords etc…). Also it creates handy graphs to easily see how your site grows or not.

whos.amung.us does not offer a lot of statistics (just 3) but 2 very useful services. The first good one is a live-counter, which of course shows the number of current visitors and the page they are browsing on. The second tool is a “normal” graph that displays a few colored bars. The last but very cool one, is a map which allows you, in addition to see what page your visitors are browsing, to locate each user on a map.
