Yes...but each font is a different member of the same family. Let's pretend ...(can you tell I'm the mother of three under the age of ten)

You want to contact the Smith Family.
You can specify just John Smith, or Bob Smith, of Mary Smith. You call the individual name out: Hey, JOHN SMITH!! And only John Smith answers. If John's not there, the other Smiths aren't called, they were not paged by you - the default person is called, like Timmy Roman. LOL

Now, you could just put out a general call to any available Smiths, like this:

* {
font-family: smith;
}

OOOPS, ha ha only kidding. It would be
* {
font-family: sans-serif;
}

and that would call out the default SANS SERIF font.


Does that make sense?

Consider yourself totally blessed. I was to be a grandmom, however the girl that was carrying my grandchild decided that since my son would not go back to her, well, she aborted the baby. My granchild would be a tad over a year old by now.

Grandchildren are an extension of our lives. They are blessings to hold dear to your heart. They are a continuation of our families.:) You are truly blessed to be able to see, hold and spend time with your granchild.

Create the style sheet - the links given above are all excellent so I won't waste time by saying how other than to advise you to start with reading outfront's tutrial about them - very clearly written.

Once you've done that go here:

and download their stylesheet linker - it does a much better job than frontpage does without assistance.
