Use unsafe web fonts safely in iWeb

Lots of times, to get just the right look for your website, you want to use a font that is considered 'unsafe,' meaning unless someone viewing your page has that same font installed, the browser will pick some other default font to take its place. This obviously is undesirable. There are definitely more sophisticated and better ways to use non-web safe fonts, but if you want something easy and quick in iWeb, here's one thing you can do that's very easy and doesn't require any CSS or HTML code or widgets.


For any text using an unsafe web font, just rotate the text box marginally and iWeb will convert it to an image file so that your font appears as-is in any web browser. I asked if anyone noticed that the text was rotated and no one ever noticed.

There are two ways (that I know of) to rotate a text box. In either case, you first must click on the text box so that the corners have little white squares over them. Then hover your mouse over the corner while holding th ...

Maximize browser performance with a RAMdisk

I've been using excellent tips found here to enhance Firefox performance including cache2ram.

I wanted to put not just the cache, but also the Firefox profile, and even other apps on the RAMdisk and some guides were a little too complex for my capabilities. So using a combination of portable apps, Esperance DV, and Carbon Copy Cloner, I'm able to easily run Firefox and VLC from a self-auto-restoring RAMdisk that I can simply eject if I need all of my RAM for work (e.g. CS5).

First download and install Esperance DV and set up your RAMdisk with the features you require. I checked 1GB, create on opening session, save in disk image (for CCC) and self auto restore. These setting can easily be modified later, thus Esperance DV is recommended.

Download your required portable applications (like Portable Firefox) from ...
