awesome fonts

I spent a good chunk of time recently playing around with icons in GIMP with the intent of making some nicely customized buttons for the navbar on this site. I actually enjoy (and miss) graphic design projects, so this was fun (but frustrating)…

But do I feel pretty silly now that I know about little more about how to use CSS, and this awesome site fontawesome.io. Besides the fact that fonts are completely scaleable and I don’t have a good grasp on making vector images, fontawesome is just…awesome. Free, no java needed, accessible for screen readers…the list goes on. It’s a simple, super handy website. Now my navbar has nice button-like links to my various social media contacts. I fontawesome.
