Today when I was writing the previous post. The screen shot of the free extended task manager didn’t upload. There was an error saying “The parent directory …/wp-content/uploads/2010/01 isn’t writable.”

I opened up the file manager and navigated to the uploads directory. I have had a similar problem before. So, I made a new directory and named it 2010. The default permissions were 755. I changed it to 777 and then tried to upload again. The upload was successful. Now, there won’t be any such problems till jan 1 2011. I’ll have to repeat the process again for the new year 2011.

My web host isn’t a popular one like the Hostgator or Godaddy, so I face some problems like these often. Probably it isn’t optimized for wordpress. Hope I find a way to fix this soon. Otherwise, I’ll have to shift to a better host from may.

Presently Font Capture is a totaly free service. It allows you to make a font of your own handwriting. You just need a printer and a scanner. No extra software needed.

First Step: print the template, where you write in the letters in your hand writing.   [download the template]

Second Step: Take care of the ascenders, descenders and the baselines (basic typography terms). Some letters, such as ‘g’ or ‘q’, descend to the descender line. Uppercase letters typically have their highest point on the ascender. write in your letters. I would suggest using a pencil at first and then a black pilot pen for the final entry.

Third Step: Upload the completed font template. Scan it in grayscale 300DPI and in PNG format (better).    [Upload]
