The new header is—dare I say it? Awesome. Much improved over the Copperplate. No matter how much that one guy likes it. ;)

Hey, if you like, I want to help out with the typography side of things as well. But I wouldn’t rule out Copperplate Gothic just yet :)

Schweeeet! You have good typographic instincts. :)

I’m traveling today, but I’ll plan on toying with some typography, as well. ;)

Looks like I’ll be working on a header later today. :)

Yeah, I kinda randomly picked a font for the Portland is Awesome header. I know about as much about fonts as I do about fashion (which explains my jeans, t-shirt, hoodie wardrobe) :-)

Maybe someone should suggest a better font (hint, hint) or one my authors (cough) could help :-)

And, upon seeing it, I just added your name to the list of writers. ;)

And now that I know you’re involved… Copperplate? Really?

Anyone who knows me knows I must love the idea of Portland is Awesome, because it’s incredibly painful for me to recommend anything that uses Copperplate.

Please, if possible, fix that. Portland is Awesome. Copperplate is another, more derogatory “a” word.

Signed, Typography snob.
