Oh yeah, my friend who is very into techy stuff told me about it – how some fonts affects the loading on the blog’s site. Whew, good thing mine wasn’t on that list at all.
You are such a tech savvy sis. I would be willing to change my font into Glegoo. I’ll check it out.
They all look nice but the one i like is not there.
Yep I am willing to change font if I knew how.
ooh, honestly i have no idea on things like this but i’m really happy that you help make my site prettier.
That is so awesome. never thought of that before. I use Trebuchet and I might have to swap it into something listed above. Thank you for sharing. Great one!
I don’t know about this one until now thanks for sharing!
I had no idea that even the font has an impact on how fast a site loads. I would change my fonts if I knew how but I’m not tech savvy and can’t even do simple tweaks.
