@font-face - How does it work?
Here is a super cool example:
With CSS3 support of the @font-face selector is easy to use.
1. Upload the font file you want to use to your server
2. Embed the font, using the following CSS:
@font-face {
font-family: yourFontName ;
src: url( /location/of/font/FontFileName.ttf ) format("truetype");
}
Then use it in your css like any other font style:
.yourFont { font-family: yourFontName , verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;
Here are the supported font formats: "truetype" (ttf), "opentype" (ttf,otf), "truetype-aat (ttf), "embedded-opentype" (eot) and "scalable-vector-graphic" (svg,svgz).

I just redesigned my site. I found a great article (Cookie cutter web sites) on Think Vitamin that had sampes of unique sites and navigation. One sample included the horizontal way, which inspired me to redesign my website. I added a cool jquery Nivo-slider portfolio. I realized I needed a tab jquery as well because I wanted categories for print, web, email and identity design. This created some z-index issues with all three javaScripts. Take a look at the final product!

My Time Capsule died this week. I'm so disappointed with apple. Of course I didn't discover that there were overheating issues with the Time Capsule until it happened to me. The light went out on the Time Capsule and that's it...gone. We have our baby's photos and videos on there so it is devastating. I have googled the issue and found that you can possibly exchange it and get a new one but you will lose your data. I don't really want another one since Apple has not fixed the problem and they only last 12 months. Boo.
So I'm going to try taking out the hard drive to save the data. I found this website which was great but discouraging at the same time: timecapsuledead.org. They have instructions on how to open the Time Capsule and take out the hard drive.
I am now saving all my videos on Vimeo and all my photos on Mozy. It makes more sense to do it online and not purchase new software. So in the next couple of weeks I will let you know how the data retrieval works.
If you are using the News module you will notice that all of your title tags are the same. To customize this goto: Content → News in the admin panel and choose Detail Template. At the very top of the template add:
{assign var="pagetitle" value=$entry->title|escape}
This line will generate the smarty variable {$pagetitle} containing the title of the news article. To add the variable to your page template, open it and replace your title tag with the following:
{if isset($pagetitle) && !empty($pagetitle)}
{else}
{/if}
