			<description><![CDATA[When designing your website, be aware of the font choice you make. Choose a font that is known for being handicap accessible. When we researched accessible fonts, we found two in the Google fonts that were highly rated for legibility - <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Atkinson+Hyperlegible" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">Atkinson Hyperlegible</a> and <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Lexend" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">Lexend</a> get high ratings for accessibility. We use Atkinson here. We will also be using it for themes in something that's coming up. Here's why fonts can make such a difference. Have a look at how things look with different fonts:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;" class="mycode_size"><span style="font-family: Atkinson Hyperlegible;" class="mycode_font">the pass is 10OliIpqmdeoDb – Atkinson</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;" class="mycode_size"><span style="font-family: Papyrus, sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">the pass is 10OliIpqmdeoDb – Papyrus</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;" class="mycode_size"><span style="font-family: Brush Script MT;" class="mycode_font">the pass is 10OliIpqmdeoDb – Brush Script</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;" class="mycode_size"><span style="font-family: Impact, sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">the pass is 10OliIpqmdeoDb – Impact</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;" class="mycode_size"><span style="font-family: 'Futura Medium', sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">the pass is 10OliIpqmdeoDb – Futura</span></span><br />
<br />
Notice how the "I" in each one is harder to make out for most of the fonts other than Atkinson. The 0 and the O or o are also hard to distinguish. Keep fonts in mind when designing your website. Accessible fonts are not only visually appealing, but are much better for your audience as you won't be excluding visually impaired viewers from participating.  <img src="https://forum.konnexu.com/images/smilies/cool2.svg" alt="Cool" title="Cool" class="smilie smilie_43" /><br />
<br />
One last thing, the above was just an example and not an actual password.  <img src="https://forum.konnexu.com/images/smilies/tongue2.svg" alt="Tongue" title="Tongue" class="smilie smilie_5" />]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Your website's logo is like a handshake - it makes a lasting first impression. Here are the key ingredients for a logo that shines:<ul class="mycode_list"><li><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Simplicity is King:</span> Keep it clean and clear. Complex designs get lost, especially on small screens.<br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Memorable Magic:</span> Strive for a logo that's easily remembered. Think of the iconic swoosh or golden arches.<br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Uniquely You:</span> Your logo should reflect your brand's personality. Don't be afraid to stand out from the crowd. Just keep in mind your colors and font. People need to be able to read it and see your design well. Test with tools for color blind guests as well, such as the free WAVE browser tool.<br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Timeless Appeal:</span> Avoid trendy styles that will look dated in a few years. Aim for a classic and enduring design.<br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Versatility is Key:</span> Your logo should work anywhere, from your website to your business card. Ensure it scales well and looks good in different formats.<br />
</li>
</ul>
By following these principles, you can craft a logo that becomes a recognizable symbol of your brand.<br />
<br />
Watch for font when making your logo. It needs to be easy to read. Fancy font can be nice for written letters, fancy invitations, etc, but not for your website logo. Here's why choosing the right font and paying attention to spacing is important:<br />
<br />
Poor Font Choice:<br />
