You Can Mix The Ingredients But Without An Oven You Can't Bake The Cake
Fighting wind and tide is usually futile |
Here, the oven is the font. As a child, I was taught that printing and writing were two different things. Books were printed. Letters were written. Block letters for books. Cursive writing for letters.
That distinction quickly became redundant when the in-home computer combined with the new W.W.W. to give us email as a viable option to snail mail.
The die was cast |
Once the cellphone was miniaturized and became a multi faceted computer that even the writers of Star Trek didn't imagine in their journey where no man had gone before, the die was cast. Cursive became the domain of the artistic calligrapher.
As much as I do prefer Great Vibes as a font, I find myself to be a majority of me, myself and I. Which is why I have reverted to the default font found in the Soho Red Blogger.com theme.
Hopefully this will entice those readers who left when I began to use Great Vibes, to return. And equally important if this cake is to bake, to carry forward my analogy, more people will make the effort to understand the message if they don't first need to learn the font.
Not that I regret attempting to use Great Vibes. It could have been a plus. Still and all, the numbers are in, and the experiment was a bust.
