The modern freelancer has a platter of tasks and responsibilities dumped onto their head every day. The masses assume the work-from-home lifestyle to be a refreshing break from the corporate office, though at times we see this is not the case. Freelancing shifts most power into the hands of designers and developers to create and work with whoever they want. It’s a big step towards running your own business and provides enormous potential in regards to income and professional experience.

Among the downfalls of this path can be poor time management and lack of any fixed schedule. After all, working from your home computer in pajamas every Monday can make temptations seem lucrative. Working for yourself and earning your own money is one of the most liberating acts available to us in modern society. In this post I’ll discuss a few ideas I’ve learned over my time freelancing to stay organized and on-task.

Beautiful Typography for WordPress Using the @Font-Face Rule

Give your BuddyPress default theme a little kick with the @font-face CSS rule. Custom fonts are the quickest way to personalize your social networking environment. Fonts allow you to insinuate tone, create a more engaging site for your users, and consistently maintain your branding without having to produce dozens of image files for headers throughout your site. You cannot overestimate the power of a well-chosen font. Let’s face it, Arial, Helvetica, and Times New Roman are played out, because for the past ten years the internet has been limited to a handful of standard fonts. Font replacement using JavaScript or Flash is one option, but it has its limitations. The great benefit of the @font-face method is that it doesn’t replace your regular fonts with images. It uses the actual font and users can still highlight and copy the text.

Every few years I make a browser switch and my web use evolves sometimes for the better, and sometimes for the worse. My particular evolution went something like this: Netscape, IE, KDE Konquerer (switched from Windows98 to Debian – so no more IE), Mozilla Phoenix (early Firefox), IE (what do you know… went back to Windows), Firefox, IE, Firefox, and over the last year Chrome. My latest switch to Google Chrome has had the biggest affect on my daily web usage, particularly from the amazing assortment of extensions. The browser is also light and stylish with cool themes. If you haven’t tried it already I highly recommend you do. With Chrome quickly gobbling up market share, it’s clear I’m not the only one who’s recognizing this.

Ok, enough of this Google fanboy madness… let’s talk about some SEO tools. Google Chrome’s Extensions, much like Android’s Apps, are full of garbage with a few gold nuggets hidden amidst the madness.
