Accessites.org Reboot
We needed a bigger, badder, and better back-end for Accessites.org. We like to write lots of articles and needed a more powerful and flexible web publishing application than the homegrown content management system (CMS) we were using before. We decided to go with WordPress dressed up with a variation of my lastest accessible theme — though it was made even more accessible, which is a given considering what it’s serving. Hope you like it; we do.

Congratz, looks great!
You really do like Trebuchet MS, hehe. I just noticed that the comment textarea even uses it.
Keep up the good work Mike )

Thanks Adam. I do like Trebuchet, but over there we’re using Century Gothic (I like it too even though it isn’t officially a web-safe font). Trebuchet is the next font in line at Accessites if someone doesn’t have Century Gothic installed.

Ah I see. Didn’t look at the CSS.
I’m using Firefox on MacOSX so I go right to Trebuchet MS. Have you considered using Futura second after Century Gothic? It looks pretty much the same and is available on MacOSX. I use it for a Century Gothic look-a-like on my business page.
See here for the MacOSX 10.4 default font list and Identifont (one of my favs) for an example of Futura.

Excellent suggestion Adam. As per your suggestion, I went ahead and added Futura next in line in the CSS (default, handheld, and form), so that’s what you should get now. Thanks.
