Give CSS a try

If you generally use font tags to format the text on your site, give CSS a whirl. It offers more options, and by creating a single CSS file for your whole site, you can format everything all at once — and make changes in one place instead of fifty! The syntax looks weird at first, but Wendy Peck’s fabulous no-crap primer will get you up and running with CSS in about ten minutes.

Added bonus: with all those font tags gone, your pages will download faster. If you use CSS to format those ugly heading tags (<h1>, <h2>) so you can actually use them, you’ll even start to see your Google rank improve.

Already using CSS for fonts? Try it for layouts! Layout Gala has 40 examples to get you started.
