Find Out What Font Is On Any Website
Fount.ArtEqualsWork.com is simple and cool!
- Go to Fount.ArtEqualsWork.com
- Drag the huge button at the top of the page into your bookmarks bar {works in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and IE8+}
- Go to any site and click the Fount bookmarklet.
- Click on any type you want to identify {does not work on fonts in images}
I installed this in Chrome, then went to my blog, Glamazini.com, and clicked on the body text of the post. A oval with the font name, size, weight, and style shows up in the top right of the browser when I click the font button in the bookmark bar.
Easy peasy.

YouTube Channel Update
If you are YouTube content creator, or viewer you already know that YouTube rolled out another round of huge changes to the entire website a few weeks ago. It was really weird, by the way … things were literally changing WHILE I was using the site one night LOL.
As with most things on YouTube, people are passionate and opinionated. The video below details several of the changes to the channel pages specifically, and if you watch it on YouTube you’ll see the dislike rating is WAY higher than the like rating. Also (as expected with any YouTube change), people are livid in the comments. Personally I think YouTube users are much more vocal about how much they hate changes than even FaceBook users are.
I’ve already opted into the new channel layout. I did it the 1st day it was offered, freaked out and changed it back, then did it again a week ago. I still haven’t finished doing my image map on my channel banner. Personally I’m still gettting used to the new layout. I definitely feel disoriented, it’s cleaner but not intuitive entirely (yet).
I’ll share more on this as as I learn more,

How To Find Images From Your Website on Pinterest
I’m not familiar with Pinterest one bit, beyond it being a website where you can “pin” photos from other websites under your own account. That said, here’s a quick post to show you a super simple way to see which photos others have “pinned” on Pinterest from your website.
- In a web browser type “http://pinterest.com/source/[YOUR WEBSITE ADDRESS]/” in the address bar. (example: http://pinterest.com/source/glamazini.com/)
- That’s it (I said it was simple).
Anyhoo… this is what my results look like:

How To Find Your Twitter API Key
Foliovision asked me to “fill in the [Twitter] API keys on settings page” for their proprietary sharing plugin so I thought I’d tell ya’ll just how I found my Twitter API key (’cause it took a second)
Before I start, here’s a refresher if you don’t know what an API is.
- Login to your Twitter account
- Go to https://dev.twitter.com
- Click ‘Create an App’
- Enter any name you’d like, something descriptive to help you remember what this application is
- Enter a description to help you remember what the application is
- Enter your website address (typically your domain name like glamazini.com)
- Enter your callback address (typically your domain name like glamazini.com)
- Check the ‘Yes I agree’ check box
- Fill in the CAPTCHA
- Click the ‘Create Your Twitter Application’ button
- On the next page copy the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret
- Click the “Create access token” button & wait a second …
- Soon you’ll see an Access token and Access Token Secret displayed. Copy them as well.
- To access this information again make sure you’re logged into Twitter and visit https://dev.twitter.com/apps/
These new API keys will now allow me to assign them specifically to the sharing plug in used on my site. If I do new keys per each application accessing twitter from my site I won’t hit the API limits as quickly.
Hope that helped someone!
