Recently it has been a plain black band, and I assumed you were in mourning about the recent unpleasantness on 11/4. Now it is as the previous commenter said.
What you could do is make an image file of your blog name. (scaled to fit in your header) Insert that in the coding of your blog under the "Header". (Something like this: [p align="center"][img width="660" height="175" border="0" align="middle" alt="home is Sailor ... home from sea" src="/blog_images/DarkHarbor660.jpg"][/p] )
Substitute your image file name, location, and parameters for your own. This will allow every one to see what you have and not require anyone to have to download your fonts. At some future date should you want to change it make a new image file and swap it out with the old one (just change the file name in your code). Also change all the [ and ] in the code above to < and > respectively. as comments dont like code.
Hope that helps...anyone else feel free to correct me if I am in error.

ha-I didn't notice that Rog. She does have a resemblance to me. But, no, not me! My parents didn't raise me in a barn. I shut the doors behind me and I don't leave toys out on the kitchen counters.
Just as a follow-up, I wanted to let you know that whatever it was you did your page loads almost instantaneously now. And adding the jpg instead of text works fine. I see it now.
Kind of. No fancy font though.

ReplyDeleteThis is in Firefox.

PS: the verification word is "retch."
Are you asking what font I see in the masthead? If so, it is not the same. MS Word identifies the font as "BernhardFashion BT".
ReplyDeletenope: only like in this pic (Times New Roman?)
ReplyDeleteUsing Firefox 3 I see the same as OldJacques picture - good thinking OldJacques!
ReplyDeleteYep. Firefox.
ReplyDeleteFnF! ... after doing this for seven years, I'm just now aware that all the fonts I've used, tailored to content, have been for naught. JFC.
ReplyDeleteWords & black background in what looks like Times New Roman or Century Schoolbook Bold.

Firefox
Safari
all three
No. Colors are the same, but font is not as fancy. Mozilla Firefox v. 3.0.4
ReplyDeleteRodger - I'm using IE7,
ReplyDeleteI see on your masthead, black background, white Times New Roman font "Curmudgeonly & Skeptical"
I see same in your question, but with an Art-Deco looking font.

Rodger, I see what OldJacques sees. I use Firefox. Same thing in IE7.
ReplyDeleteno. i see arial bold system text centered in a vast sea of black
ReplyDeleteI see what the others see-- Arial Bold on a big black background.
ReplyDeleteBelow that, a gray stripe with a capital Å on the left edge.
Exactly like OldJacques picture in both Firefox 3.0.4 and IE 6.0.29 SP2
ReplyDeleteI guess if you don't have the font installed on your computer, you can't see it. Would that be correct wise men (and women)?
ReplyDeleteYes, if a particular font is not installed, windows will default to the closest match that is installed.

I see the desired fancy font.
ReplyDeleteSorry to have started this mess ....
Yep, the classy font is on the header for us firefoxers.
ReplyDeleteYup, curly font and all. Twasn't up earlier today, but it is now; I've purged my cache in between times.
ReplyDeleteFirefox on Ubuntu, if you care.

ReplyDeleteI see a fancy font on IE 6.0
ReplyDeleteYes. Google Chrome.
ReplyDeleteWorkin' fine on FFox, now, boss.

Yes, looks fine with Firefox on Mac OSX.
ReplyDeleteSame with Safari -- looks fine.
Yep - Exactly as shown using IE-6.
