www.yourfonts.com


This is the logo for yourfonts.com (I altered it a bit to clear it up). Your Fonts is an easy and quick service that allows you to make your own font for free. There is no catch, all you do is print the pdf, fill out the characters you want in your font, scan the form, save as a jpeg, then upload it to the site. Then it will show you your font, at that point you can download it.
Instructions for installation for Windows & Linux
Windows
Step One: Save the TTF.
Step Two: Go to the control panel and click fonts.
Step Three: Drag the TTF into the font folder.
Linux
Step One: Save the TTF.
Step Two: Tap out ctrl,alt,t.
Step Three: Type "kcontrol".
Step Four: Click "Display"
Step Five: Click "Themes"

Step Eight: Browse for the TTF.
Step Nine: Restart running programs.

Youtube



All of America knows that logo (left). That's right it's the Youtube logo.
The cool thing about Youtube is anyone can view videos, but only people with accounts can post videos. If you read my blog often then you know I will tell all about it. So, to start off you need to sign up. Once you fill
the information in the form then it will load it into the youtube server. Then it will divert you the login page. It will then show you a page like this (below).

Now we will talk about channels. A channel is your page on Youtube. Here is a sample channel. As you saw that was my channel. When you upload a video it will appear on your channel. Now to upload a video first find a video you want to upload. Next click on this link. Now don't expect many views as soon as you upload it. If you want many views do funny stuff and spontaneous things. Let's say Silly Sally Sue from Huntsville, Alabama
sees a cool video she wants to put it on her blog she can use on embed link which is in html format. That will look like this. Then the world can see the cool video. She can also use a regular hyperlink like this "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zInVFNazgU". A new feature on youtube lets the user directly upload videos by webcam. This feature is called Quick Capture.
Click here to see quick capture. So, to wrap up youtube is unique and interesting.
If you have any questions about youtube or ideas for future posts place them in the comments.
