Browser Safe Fonts For All Operating System

Recently, As I have been designing one of the most compatible and customizable theme, I have been looking into fonts and styling as I wanted this theme to be the best one. I came across some very important tool which I will share later on when I put it into use on a live website, but I also came across this resource.

I know people want to use other fonts that looks even better. Below I made a list of fonts that are safe for all browsers on all operating systems. Just in case if you guys ever need it.

Arial, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif
Arial Black, Arial Black, Gadget, sans-serif
Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans MS, cursive
Courier New, Courier New, Courier, monospace
Georgia, Georgia, serif
Impact, Impact, Charcoal, sans-serif
Lucida Console, Monaco, monospace
Lucida Sans Unicode, Lucida Grande, sans-serif
Palatino Linotype, Book Antiqua, Palatino, serif

Balkhis Sweet Monday Link Roundup – 12/29/08

This is the last Balkhis Sweet Monday of this year as it is now coming to an end. There has been a flu that is going around. Almost everyone in my family got sick and it was my turn, so I got it too. I was sick for almost about 3-4 days. Which delayed a lot of work. But I am slowly recovering. Next week be prepared to see a lot of pictures from my trip to Tennessee. Hopefully I will be better and ready at my pace.

My schedule is following:

We will leave for Tennessee on the morning of the 2nd of January. It is about 9 – 10 hour drive. We will be in Ober Gatlinburg, so if you are in that area feel free to contact me and I will be glad to see you there.

Expect tons of pictures and hopefully some videos of me falling too.

Some posts I read while I was sick:

Balkhi’s New Year’s Resolutions

It is that time of year again, where the year is summed and it is time to come to turns with what I have and havn’t done this year. After reflecting on this year of great tutorials and overwhelming success here at Balkhis, I would like to show you what is my plan for 2009.

  1. Release a Premium Theme Website
    Now that Pimp My Blog has been discontinued, I want to channel my designing skills into a site that showcases beautiful designs that are tailored for SEO. The benefit for you guys of course is that I will be giving away free copies of these themes here at Balkhis.
  2. Redesign Uzzz Productions
    Something surprising about this industry is that the more advanced you get with your clients the more you start to laugh at your old designs. The Uzzz Products website has been around for a while now and it is about time that we see a new era of design and SEO friendlyness.
  3. Improve SEO
    The more active I am in the world of SEO the more I learn, and I will continue to learn and implement as much as I can in 2009.
  4. Keep Providing Quality Content
    Balkhis will be seeing more of the quality content that brought it such success in 2008. Expect to see more How-to’s and case studies next year
  5. Keep Meeting Readers
    There are some many great bloggers out there who I have only met through comments and forums. Here is to hoping that 2009 will bring more face-to-face meetings at conventions and beyond.
  6. Spend more time with my family
    I try to see my family (who live about four hours from my college) as often as possible, but the time I spend with them feels shorter and shorter. Therefore, I am going to spend as much time as I can with them, especially my rapidly growing younger brother.
  7. With that, here is to wishing you a happy New Year and a very productive 2009!

Happy Holidays to all Balkhis users

Happy Holidays to Balkhis users

Hey Balkhis users,

This was a great year, and I wish you happy holidays and a very happy new year. I am enjoying my time with my family, and I hope you do the same. This year I am not giving away anything special on new years except for my best wishes to you all. I think I have given one of the best tutorials over the course of this year. I think you can find a lot of tricks on this blog that will get you tons of traffic.

Have a great time on holidays and enjoy the time with your family. There is nothing that deserves your time more than your family specially at this time of the year.

-Syed Balkhi

Balkhis Sweet Monday Link Love 12/22/08

After a long week of working and enjoying, It has come to an end. And I am looking forward to a new week. My great uncle from Belgium is here, so I am taking him around all over Florida as well. So it is fun and work. I get really exhausted by the end of the day. Due to that, I really didn’t read a lot of blog. I didn’t check out any new blogs in the blogosphere either. I will share some of the posts from the places that I am subscribed to.

Now those were some that I found interesting and useful. I will not put a lot of details out, but Uzzz Productions is also getting a redesign. I am hoping to launch in January for the product, and the redesign of Uzzz. So keep your eyes open. There will be an affiliate program to come also :)
