I’m releasing a new WordPress plugin called Custom Stylesheet. This plugin creates a safe haven for some custom CSS styles that you want preserved, even if you switch from one theme to another.

  2. Activate the “Custom Stylesheet” plugin from the “Plugins > Installed Plugins.”
  3. Custom Stylesheet is available from “Appearance > Stylesheet.”
  4. Add your custom CSS styles.
  5. Click “Save Custom Stylesheet” to save.

Google Web Fonts Plugin

I’m releasing a WordPress plugin called “Web Fonts.” This plugin takes advantage of the free and open-source Google Web Fonts. If you’re not familiar with Google Web Fonts, it’s a group of fonts that allows designers to customize the looks of their blogs or websites using hundreds of exotic fonts. With a gaggle of external fonts available for use, “Web Fonts” can transform the overall design of a website.

Install and Configure

  1. Upload the “webfonts” folder to the WordPress plugins folder.
  2. Activate the “Web Fonts” plugin from the “Dashboard > Plugins > Installed Plugins.”
  3. Configure stylesheet link and CSS from the “Dashboard > Settings > Web Fonts.”
  4. If you want multiple fonts, just add a second stylesheet link and additional CSS.
  5. “Update Options” to save.
