STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

RE: where is everyone? bueller? bueller?

These are the best sans-serif matches I could find in my font library:

Trebuchet:

Smallfonts:

Tahoma:

I can change leading/tracking on any of these, and the width of the letters (I made them a little wider than normal in these buttons because the stylethread logo seemed wider than normal), but that's about where my abilities stop. I'm no kerning expert or anything!

Those look great, Kelly. I like Trebuchet the best. Anyway you can send me a working file for that one?

Oh, I like the idea of the buttons! Very cool. Are we going to have one without our SNs? I'd rather not have that info posted on my blog(s), but I'd definitely post an ST button!

And I think NC Shopper might be onto something, too. Lots of the regular posters have gotten older and have busier lives. I was 23 when I first started posting on Lucky, then FH, then here. I'm 30 now and I definitely have a lot more going on. But I still love this place. And I would love to see traffic pick up again.

Also, I think part of the reason the traffic is slower is because people post longer, more authentic posts here rather than a lot of superficial, off-the-cuff remarks. Which is good because we really get to know each other and it's created a good community, but it's not necessarily good for high-volume posting, KWIM?

Anyway, thanks D, for keeping this place around and best of luck with any new endeavors you choose that branch out from it.

All of the buttons look great Kelly! I think the pink one is my favorite.

Those are awesome Kelly. Is there anyway to do the pink Stylethread button in a different color. My blog is pink so it will blend in to the background.

I can make anything in other colors, but maybe we should wait until the brown & pink debate is over and see if there's another official ST color that will work out :)

That sounds good. I went ahead and pulled one from the first page to put in my sidebar for right now. It has enough white to make the box stand out.

FYI I just have those images hosted on my flickr, and I don't plan on keeping them in my account forever, so when I take them down your image will break.

I'm working on this. We will be hosting the site in a new location. And I'm thinking for the time being we don't personalize them, because the color scheme and graphic treatments are going to change.

I would love to auto-populate a button with a member name as well as offer some more generic buttons. And I think I'm going to host them in the new location... More to come... I'll try to get some html to you all soon.

No worries. I just saved the one I am using for now to my photobucket account. I'll update when yall have the final ones. :)
