5 Typekit Invitations Giveaway

As we promised in our previous post, we will write more articles about “behind the scenes” at WPZOOM. So today we will start with a short contest about a great tool we discovered a while ago, called Typekit, which allows you to embed selective fonts on your website using javascript and @font-face. But let’s see the full definition of this tool:

Typekit allows you to embed select fonts using javascript and @font-face. It even works in IE6+! They have a great selection of fonts to choose from and is very simple to implement. After selecting a font you would like to use, all you need to do is include the relevant code to load in the javascript and you will be able to use the font just as if you were using @font-face regularly.

A great video-tutorial on using this tool can be viewed on Nettuts.
And since registration on this service currently takes too long, we decided to giveaway 5 invitations that we have received when our account was activated.

How to enter the competition:

    1. Follow @WPZOOM on Twitter.
    2. Post an update on Twitter with the following message: “Win a Typekit invitation for free on @WPZOOM http://retwt.me/1lAp8 #wpzoomcontest”
    3. Post a comment on this article which must include a link to your status update on Twitter.
    4. Lucky winners will be chosen randomly, and will be announced in this article on Tuesday, 28th October.

Winners are:

#3 – EvilMammoth
#6 – Daniela Blanco
#8 – Evan Bowers
#12 – digibomb
#13 – Adone

Congratulations!
