Reduce Spam by encoding your email address and mailto: links on your website
Jan 7th
This website allows you to convert email addresses into an encoded form suitable for inclusion on a web site. Simply add email.js to your site’s top-level javascript folder, remember to call the file email.js
Next you need to call the script in the head of your page with this line of code…
<script src="/scripts/email.js"></script>
Then encode your email address with this automatic encoder and use the encoded link code rather than your usual mailto: link.

My Fonts Newsletter and Typophile
Sep 28th
I’ve been a subscriber to the weekly e-newsletter from myfonts.com for some time now. Even if you don’t need a new typeface and only ever use arial, helvetica or calibri,there is still some interesting news and great source for type and design related stuff.
Here’s a link to a great typography resource called typophile which I found in the September edition of the newsletter
Blog Website configuration and plugins used
Mar 23rd
I’ve used the Pixelated wordpress theme and added the suckerfish css drop down menu for wordpress in this site. After commenting out the wordpress nav bar in the header.php file, I pasted in the suckerfish menu instead, I then disabled the style sheet that came with the menu in the menu options so that the drop down menu navigation bar in this site uses the pixelated theme. Here’s a list of some other plugins for wordpress that I’ve found useful…
