May 17, 200917 yr Hi, I have a website up and running, but I want to know how I can change the name of that appaears on browsers when you visit the page. In IE it usually appears at the very top of the window, like 'Welcome to WebDesigner Blogs' would appear when you visit the homepage. At the moment it says 'index' when I visit my homepage and then 'Untitled Document' for the rest of the pages. Could someone tell me how to sort this out? Appreciated

May 17, 200917 yr Author Ahh very simple, thanks alot I have another question, not really worth creating a whole thread for... I have used Myriad Pro for my font on the website, but when I view it using a friend's computer it shows the font as Times New Roman. Im guessing he doesn't have Myriad Pro on his computer, but surely he should still be able to view Myriad Pro on my site? How can I fix this? Thanks

Because of that, web designers usually limit themselves to "web fonts" which have compatibility across different computers and Operating Systems. Here's a list of fonts that you can use. If you really want to use Myriad Pro, then you could save that section of the page as an image, but I wouldn't advise it. Important text is better off staying as plain text. There's a more advanced way of doing it, called sIFR - website which uses flash to display any font of your choice.
May 19, 200917 yr Author I have another problem with the browsers! Why is it that the website looks so different in IE compared to what ive been previewing it in (Google Chrome)? I mean, I know browsers are going to display the site slightly different to each other, but in IE some of my content is aligned to the left when it should be centered, and some of it has been shifted up so that its almost overlapping the drop down menu at the top. The site: www.cambridgeimages.com Aplogize if im asking alot of questions, but I really am a beginner and due to a very useless web design tutor at my uni, im having to learn alot through my own research and asking on this forum.
