Oh!
Then you can ignore all my rantings! You've made the smarter choice!
HA! yeah,any ideas i have are for someone who's interested in doing it all the way.
Drumming up work w/ out the option of being able to tackle whatever comes along complicates things.
I will throw an idea yer way though since you do seem to be very proficient at site building.
Have you considered creating a mySpace alternative for the youth groups from your church--inviting surrounding community church youth to participate?
The site can be sponsored by your other websites.This site creates some small exposure for the other sites.It provides other site owners with some involvement and is
a catalyst formula for creating interest in your work by others in your community.
It is a formula that I have seen work extremely effectively.

Several reasons:
1. It fits the theme of the site
2. It's more interesting that Times New Roman
3. It's used sparingly (as headings and not the full page's text)
4. It's one of the more common non-standard fonts
5. It looks nothing like Comic Sans
6. I like it

I'm going to have to agree with PM... all else aside... I just hate Papyrus.
Its one of the worst fonts ever.

Hey Polish Mafia:.
I believe there is an unspoken rule here.
You cant talk shit about someones else's work unless you have a minimum of 10 posts.

You really think Papyrus is as bad as Comic Sans on the web? I don't see Papyrus nearly as much. And I think even Comic Sans has its place on the web sometimes. I really think Papyrus fits the style I'm going for, and I just like the font in general.
So there.

If you have a few good fonts that are similar in style, I'll think about it. Another reason that I like Papyrus is that it's fairly widespread. I don't want to use a font that hardly anybody will see because they don't have it installed. I could go through and make pictures of all the headings, but that would just take too much time considering all the headings on all the pages.
Is it really that bad?

You know, if Comic Sans drank WAY too much tequilla, and then PUKED... and then that PUKE designed a font? Well, it would be Papyrus.
Personally? I LOVE it!

Bro,
Dont listen to these clowns:.
Especially Polish mafia with 0 posts.
The Papyrus font blends in well with the background you made.
I say leave it:.
This from a fellow designer:.
