How to upload a picture?

How to upload a picture?

There are many places on the internet, where you would like to share a picture.
Some services offer their own webspace – like facebook.
But other services, like forums, want a special link to share the picture.

Imagehosts are:

Some expect that you register yourself, others work without registration, and hosters like Imageshack offer both options. Read the rest of this entry

Font of the Week (7)

Font of the Week (7)

I have to admit I am a real font junkie.
Exploring my suitcase of fonts is like being in a candy store and sometimes I just can’t decide which candy I should eat.

So I asked a friend of mine, Miss Petra N. about her favorite font.
I was pleased that she didn’t come around with fonts like Arial. Well done girl!
She brought some very interesting fonts up.

Today’s topic is one of the fonts she mentioned.
So please welcome:

Font of the Week (6)

Font of the Week (6)

Remember the good old typewriter.
My Dad used to have a mechanical one. I still have that click-clack of the keys in my ear.
Completely different to the keyboard of a computer

Later on my Dad got an electrical one. Much quicker to type with.
First essay in university has been written with such a typewriter.

Loved it, but hated that I had to rewrite every page where I did a mistake.

Computer was such a big step forward for me.

Anyway, guess everybody knows that typewriters used a special font. This font is our font of the week. It is called:

Feels like London …

Feels like London …

… at least it is what they say about London and England.
It is known to be foggy.

Fog

This morning it has been foggy when I looked out of the window.
And it is still foggy.

This is very rarely for Berlin.
I hardly can remember the last issue.

Strange feeling when you look outside and can’t see everything properly.
The world is blurry today. Read the rest of this entry

Sunny – staff of the Month

Sunny – staff of the Month

Today I am happy to introduce our second staff member to you.

Sunny

Our red-head guy.
He is 5 years old by now and a born Hermsdorf-guy.
Means he made first contact with this world just a few streets away from my house.

We met him first in October 2006. We visited the house of his mom and he was the only guy showing up to welcome us.
He grew up with 2 sisters and 1 brother and a dog-brother. But none of the other guys took notice of us. Read the rest of this entry

Font of the Week (5)

Font of the Week (5)

Another font of the week, this time a bit more detailed after the spooky fonts of Halloween.
We are going to talk about an old font and one of my favorites:
Arnold Bocklin

History

Arnold Bocklin is a very old font.
It was designed by the German type-fondery Otto Weisert in Stuttgart.
Designed means in this case that Otto Weisert, who worked as typographer too, created this font for the usage in hot metal setting, the old fashioned way. Read the rest of this entry

Julie: “Each Person I meet, teaches me something.”

Julie: “Each Person I meet, teaches me something.”

Another Women’s Wednesday, our 3rd one so far.
Today’s guest is Julie. I have met Julie at a very special forum. We did some Internet radio together and through the last three years she has become a very dear friend. So I am happy that she answered my questions. Hope you enjoy the Interview.

Tell us about yourself.

My name is Julie, I‘m 35 years old and I come from quite a large family with sisters and 2 brothers, I‘m an Avid writer on the side and I was a full time carer before the death of my grandmother who was wheel chair bound and suffered 2 times with Cancer and other illnesses.

What are your 3 favourite things about it?

Being part of a large family has its ups and downs, the closeness of each of them is a true gift but being able to be around for everyone can sometimes stretch you in so many directions. Read the rest of this entry
