[description], Story, any other text you want to use. Web-Safe Fonts for Your Site by: Mario Sanchez
Choosing the right typeface for your website copy is important, since it will affect the way your readers perceive your page (serious and formal, or friendly and casual). Aside from this, there are also important usability concerns. For example, some font types are more easily readable than others, and some are more widely available. You want to choose font types that:
There are basically two types of fonts: serif and sans serif. Serif fonts are those that have fine cross-lines at the extremities of the letter. Sans serif ("sans" being the French word for "without") are fonts that don't have serifs. The most common serif font is probably Times New Roman. Arial is an example of a common sans serif font. Let's go briefly through the most popular font types and evaluate their availability, readibility and character: Arial:
Times New Roman:
Verdana:
Georgia:
Microsoft has also popularized two more fonts: Comic Sans Serif and Trebuchet. Comic Sans Serif was launched with Internet Explorer verion 3 and mimics the hand writing used in comics. It is easy to read and is informal and friendly, but it is not considered appropriate for more serious, professional sites. Trebuchet is another sans serif font, similar to Arial but with more character, although it can be difficult to read in small sizes. Finally, we can mention Courier New, a serif font that was widely popular with old, mechanical typewriters, and that is now used only to present simulated computer code (if you need to present snipets of sample HTML code in your web pages, this is the font to use.) Therefore, from a usability perspective, the clear winner is Verdana. If you are inclined to use a serif font, Georgia is the best option. Arial remains a good option for specific parts of text, like headlines and titles, where a different font must be used and you can use larger sizes. ----- You can freely reprint this article.

radio broadcast
You've probably heard of search engines such as Yahoo!, Google, and AltaVista. There are literally dozens of these tools to help you locate the radio broadcast information you're looking for. The trick is understanding how they work, so you can use the right tool for the job and if the returned list of radio broadcast sites is useable. We've done this and our summary below will save you hours and hours of time. Search engines break down into two categories, directories and indexes. Directories, such as Yahoo!, are good at identifying general information but no so good and specific radio broadcast information. Like a card catalog in a library, they classify websites into similar categories, such as accounting firms, English universities and radio broadcast providers. The results of your search will be a list of websites related to your search term. For instance, if you are looking for the radio broadcast, use a directory. Real Time Media On The Net Index
