Hey everybody I want to let you know that I have undertaken the grueling task of getting the heck away from WordPress. I was so sick of the problems and updates I had to do all the time. I am now using my ezbloo system and I am integrating all my old posts into the new system. It sucks, but in the end, I will save bundles of time. I needed to keep things simple and that is why I created ezbloo. I'll have more on this later for you guys after I am done with the total integration of my old posts here. So if you are looking for a post and need it faster, shoot me an email and I will make it a priority. [email protected]

Free Commercial Fonts

Get free commercial fonts @ fontsquirrel.com. I love these guys because they take the hard work out of finding fonts that we can use for commercial use. GO onto their website and check out their fonts. When you find the ones you like download them. Install them all at one time using the method above. font-squirrel You are also free to use Google Fonts for your writings. If you need further assistance see our previous articles on using Google Fonts with WordPress.  

Create Your Own Font

If you cannot find something that you like then you may want to create your own font. If you are on Ubuntu linux you can download Birdfont @ https://birdfont.org/. However if you are running Ubuntu 16.04 like me then use the terminal to install your birdfont application. Here is the command line to make that happen.
