I didn't know that existed O: I've always been doing my font-faces with the help of FontSquirrel haha, might as well try Google Fonts next time ! At least, you don't need to upload the fonts... #lazy

I've always uploaded my own fonts and used FontSquirrel, but I was actually thinking of starting to use Google Fonts, because they're just that much easier to use! (And no uploading fonts on my server, yay!) :D

Since learning how to use Google Fonts I'm in love with it. I use it on nearly every single new site now.

I am a very recent convert to Google Fonts--I was thinking it was super complex to try to implement, and then I got tired of using a bunch of "web safe default" fonts and went on a mad font hunt. A few minutes later, I had pretty much all new fonts for my in-progress shrine! WHY DID I DENY MYSELF THIS AMAZINGNESS~~~

Looking good! :D Haha I remember Crystal was thinking pretty much the same (and I think I did too lol). It's intimidating to try out something new when you don't know whether it'll be a hassle to implement.

YEP! I was thinking it would take a bunch of finagling like all the jQuery snippets do...so I was very pleasantly surprised!! :D

Google fonts is so nice because you can just plug in the code and go. I was using my own fonts for a while and having to embed them, which isn't a huge deal, but if you don't get the url path right or reference it correctly in the CSS it doesn't work. So it's nice having a source that does all the tough work for you. Now I don't have to stick with Arial or Georgia as my default fonts! :P
