use-any-fonts

Now using javascript we can use any font in web page by using techniques such as Typeface and Facelift Image Replacement (or FLIR) or sIFR. sIFR needs flash while others do not. sIFR is for smoothness look of fonts.

Instead of creating images or using flash just to show your site’s graphic text in the font you want, you can use typeface.js and write in plain HTML and CSS and get original smooth font look whatever you specify, even if the user machine have not those fonts. This technique is limited yet with limited fonts support and also it is recommended to use it for title of headings of web page. All the font at the web page using this technique can heavy things up at server and page might load very slow. Even then it is cool. Type face is easy, flexible and open source.

Hotlinking is the use of an image from a website into another web page belonging to another site. There is thin chances that any popular blog will not be hot linked ever. By this way other websites use your host’s bandwidth and cause load at your server which has no benefit for you but loss. Following is a solution to protect your WordPress blog from hotlinking using .htaccess file.

Ever visited a webpage when you were trying to access an image, which shows you an image saying that image stealing is prohibited. We are going to use this way. The image will still be displayed from your blog but then it can be small and of low quality minimizing load. So we will create a small image written something like “Content Stealing is prohibited at my server” and upload it on our blog server.

Then, we will edit our .htaccess file, located in your WordPress blog root directory. Sometimes ftp does not show .htaccess file because it is hidden. In that case we can apply a filter -a via ftp which will show us hidden files too.
