I do not normally do a lot of presentations on design concepts, but I am always game to try something different. For WordCamp Kansas City 2012, I presented Typography for WordPress.
The presentation covers a little about typography, some examples great use of it, a few tips, and then how to implement typefaces into a WordPress site using any of 4 methods.

By the way, my trip to WordCamp Kansas City 2012 was made possible by CommentLuv. If you blog, CommentLuv is a great plugin that allows you to reward your readers that leave comments. CommentLuv even has a premium version that combines several popular plugins include KeywordLuv and even an anti-spam plugin too!

Hello Nile,

Yes – Topography plays a big part in Website development and design. Especially if the user’s browser doesn’t support the type of topography that you are using. One needs to think about all the aspects – technical and non-technical. From a browser support view and also from a user experience point of view.
Nice presentation Nile, especially the examples code you have created. In the way it will be easy for beginners to understand how it work.
Typography is one of the most visible aspects that we can customize, as to fit to our needs and tastes. Although it might seem hard at first to change this aspect, the impact is quite high.
This is a very informative post! and sharing us this awesome presentation is really a big help. The information you provide about this tool is very refreshing and i learned a lot from this. Thanks for the tips and i’m looking forward to read more from you.
Fantastic presentation – and great intro to the audio!
I never considered your mentioning in the powerpoint that not all fonts are allowed to be used for web fonts or commercial use – makes sense I suppose, it’s art after all!
Thank you for this. I was actually looking for tools to develop my skills in Typography because I am having a hard time designing websites because I lack the knowledge on basic typography.

Can we create a podcast hosting website using WordPress?
Yes, you can. You can use the Bluberry Podcast plugin to do that, or if you prefer to podcast solely from YouTube, then you can embed your podcast videos to a blog post… or you can do both.
