In.

This is what I have in the custom CSS section of the theme setup (I haven't set up a child theme, but may have to):

#masthead {
margin: 10px auto 0;
padding: 5px 0;
}

@import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Pacifico);


.site-title {
font-family: 'Pacifico', cursive !important;
font-size: 4.100em !important;
font-weight: bold !important;
}


.site-description {
margin-top: 2em;
}

.entry-title {
font-weight: normal;
margin: 15 0 5px;
font-family: 'Pacifico', cursive !important;
}

You're not covering enough browsers with that, hence why it's shonky.

Fontspring's bullet-proof syntax is your friend:

@font-face {
font-family: 'MyFontFamily';
src: url('myfont-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('myfont-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('myfont-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('myfont-webfont.svg#svgFontName') format('svg');
}

I'm not sure I've seen this type of syntax before. I shall investigate further.

Any more takers?

I'm trying to decide which day of the week to send out the email newsletter. Does anyone have any strong opinions on this?

No strong opinions (other than not a Monday!!) but I'd recommend signing up to other cycling based discount emails and seeing when they send theirs. If you're getting them in clusters I'd suggest avoiding that time for more exposure.

Might be an idea to ask for a few more sign up details when you open up the site fully - knowing your demographic is useful. Doesn't need to be their life story, maybe age range, gender, profession and cyclist 'type'

All good stuff Andy, do you do this for a living!

What gave me away?!

I'm more of a graphic/front end designer really, but I've managed a few email campaigns (different sectors, radio and banking) and websites, so I've got a pretty good idea of how this stuff works. Plus I'd rather share the knowledge I have than see a CC member getting fleeced off a 'marketing consultant'!

It happened to the husband of a friend, and it was not a pretty sight.

 

[SWSteve]

Signed up. Looking forward to the updates

I'm going to download the mailing list and shove it in a CSV spreadsheet, this will give each mailing list member a row number. I'll then use http://www.random.org/ to randomly pick a number and award the prize to whoever is sitting on that row in my spreadsheet. I'll email the winner as ask them what their CycleChat username is

Good! I was hoping it would be a CC member, as opposed to a referee ;-)
