I’ve started working on a new blog called DailyFont.com. The intent is to have a new font posted every day (future dated posts are great for this), but I’m not sure I can get a new one up every day.
What I think is the best part of using blog software to create a font library is that the visitors can subscribe to the RSS feed and get a new font in their inbox every day. It seems a great idea for font collectors – a group that I am definately part of.
DailyFont isn’t quite to the point of competing with some of the really big font sites with thousands of fonts. Heck, there’s only 11 fonts online as I’m typing this post. But give it time. It’ll get there.
A few months later and I realized WordPress was a poor choice for DailyFont.com. I had hacked a solution together where I could upload the TTF files and the graphic was created for me, but it just got to be more time consuming to upload fonts than I was wanting to spend.
So, I have spent the last couple of days writing code from the ground up for the new DailyFont.com site. Additions are now much easier for me, so hopefully that will keep me motivated to keep the site up to date.
