Hi Jamie,

Sounds like you still have an old stylesheet in there. I don’t have a different font-family for the summary paragraph…although I did previously. Trebuchet is gone as well. Have you tried another browser?

Hi Erica,

Cache cleared, but the font is still there in Opera.

For what it’s worth, there are some parts that are fine. For example, the menu and the paragraph at the top that starts with “Hi, I’m Erica Douglass. I am a successful entrepreneur,”. It seems to be just the post content and comments that uses the bad font.

Hi Johnny,

I removed Trebuchet completely. If you are still seeing it, try deleting your cache and coming back to the page.

Actually, erica, it still doesn’t work on Opera. It doesn’t seem to realize that Trebuchet MS can be ¿downgraded? to Arial, or some other font.

So, does that mean you’ll now start working on your book, or is a journey in the immediate future?

I like your new blog better. I never could post on the old one.

@Dossy: Hosted at Simpli/SVWH, of course. I have my own dual Xeon server that is colocated there. I negotiated some colo as part of the deal. I host this, all my email, and a couple sites for friends there.

@Jamie: I troubleshooted with a friend on this, and I think we’ve got that fixed now. Can you confirm?

@Johnny: Yes and no. The sale was mostly a monthly payment for 3 years. The sale was over $1M. After taxes, in 3 years, I’ll have enough to be over halfway there. So…it’s enough to give me financial freedom for several years, but not enough to retire on.

Curious, did the sale of Simpli make the goal of $1 million worth come true?

Oh, and while I’m here, I have some shameless self promotion to do.

Not too long back I wrote a list of the WordPress plugins I use on my blog. I gathered you might find the post useful: http://www.jamieharrop.com/2007/11/21/my-new-wordpress-plugins/

Hey Erica,

Maybe it’s just me, but I’m seeing an awful font on the blog when using Opera. I can barely read the text. It seems to look fine in IE6 though. Very strange.

Paul told me last night about the sale. I’m really pleased for you, but shocked at the same time. Of all the Web hosting owners I know, you were probably bottom of my list of owners who might sell anytime soon. You just seemed to have too much of a personal and emotional connection to the business to be able to sell it. However, I guess we all know that we should sell at the peak, and that seems to be what you did. Congratulations!

Erica,

Congratulations on the sale of Simpli and the launch of your new site, here.

So, out of curiousity: where is it hosted?
