Web Designer Font Favorite - Mangosteen

Mangosteen

A serif font from Dafont.com, Download Mangosteen

Sort of gives you the feel of the classic Copperplate Gothic, but provides a higher, thinner rendition. A beautiful free font that can stand on it own typographically. This is a nice gem of a font - take a look on how we used it below.

A nice final product using Mangosteen from Dafont.com


Here is How We Made this Graphic


It's not hard to make this graphic look pretty cool.

  1. We picked a vibrant orange, #ff6600, being mangosteen and all. 
  2. We didn't kern this font at all, it is nicely uniformly spaced.
  3. Duplicated the main text. Converted the Object to a Path (this transforms it into a vector image rather than a text object)
  4. Changed to #fff white.
  5. Dynamic Offset allows you to grow the text image.
  6. Duplicated the main text and changed color to #000, black and toggled opacity to 8.8% almost transparent really.
  7. Clicked twice on the now gray text to slant the text left to right and maneuvered to create the shadow.
Have fun with Mangosteen

    There is no doubt that in terms of marketing, digital marketing has been stronger than the traditional marketing nowadays. When it comes to the selection of the right digital marketing medium, the internet stands out as the cheapest and most effective option.

So, it might have been several years since I've made a new post on this blog, but that doesn't mean that I've stopped working on Google Sites. This month specifically I have poured hours into designing premium Google Sites templates that go above and beyond the standard offering of Free Google Sites templates . I've enjoyed crafting these themes, utilizing all the new tools available to me on the platform.  Here are some quick screenshots, but if you want to explore the full templates, come on over to my website.

RSS Feed for Google Sites!

A Reliable Gadget for Embedding your Feeds I was struggling just weeks ago trying to create a RSS feed that looked decent and accomplished what should be a simple task. This minor update caught me by surprise and I am happy to see it. I was using FeedWind to accomplish a RSS feed through an iframe, that means my html was hosted with a third-party and embedded onto the webpage via Mori79's iframe gadget (search iframe under public gadgets and it is the first one). The Slideshow Option. Not terribly useful, but nice. Anyways, no more iframes, just a customizable, easy to use Google-endorsed gadget. We at Kirksville Web Design have already fully tested out this gadget including the interesting display feature, slideshow. The slideshow only shows the title as a link and a thumbnail. It's not the most useful or aesthetically pleasing, but I'm all for options here. No Transparency Allowed on Hexcode for bg color. Here's the original post below. Enjoy! Better...

For the first time you can actually embed a Google + environment, stream with posting capability into a website. They have made it super easy to do in the New Google Sites using the Embed URL tool. Before, it seemed that Google was intent on having most Google + content locked down in the platform with no export options. The security around Communities in particular seemed to be an obstacle. Anyways, now things are different. Sites and Google Plus have a new relationship and interaction within intranets is much better because of it. Check out the post from Google and their Support Documentation: Embed Google+ streams in the new Google Sites for more engagement July 30, 2018 We’re making it easier to embed Google+ streams in the new Google Sites. This feature is a top request from users who want to create more interactive and engaging sites.
