Philosophy of Using Fonts on the Web
The fonts you choose to use on your site can make as much difference to your visitor’s experience as the colours you choose to use. Generally, sans serif is easier to read a than serif. What’s a serif? it’s those little ‘feet’ on letters that make them look like they were put in place to keep the letter from falling over on your screen. The letters wont fall so stop using them.
Jason Lee Miller wrote a good piece on the subject back in March, well worth the read.

Social Rank Measures Your Site
David Berkowitz over at Search Insider has posted an interesting article about the site Social Rank. Somewhat similar to PageRank, the site collects together ‘communities’ of blogs and measures their social rank within the community. It culls the most important blog posts within the community based on comments from visitors, backlinks from other blogs and several other factors.
The strongest Social Rank would be posts with the greatest amount of discussion within a niche area. After reading through David’s article and the Social Rank site I’m not really clear on how a blog catches the attention of the algorithm. One major use I can see for the site is that it is a very quick way to hunt out the hottest topics in any niche when you’re looking either for products to create or articles to post.
