Top 10 Tech Web Tips

Free Downloads for 1001 Winamp Skins

  We were just talking about the place to go to find fonts, and of course stumbled upon a sister site, 1001 Winamp Skins .  Now this site is not necessarily going to help you get a web project done, it won’t help your websites look better, but it at least might amuse you a bit while you listen to music doing all those things.

I tend to be a 2 or 3 skin type of guy, but if you wanted to get into a new Winamp skin on a regular basis, this would be the place to go.

They have skins on lots of themes.  Some seem to be created by people doing this out of the goodness of their heart and some seem to be a little bit branded.  It might make sense to get a skin that looks like your stereo system with the same brand and everything, or you may be really happy about your acne treatment or dermatologist or something and want to show off a clear faced winamp skin, or then again maybe you don’t.

Either way you can probably find what you are looking for here, and maybe even kick off a goofy conversation in your cubicle for 5-10 minutes before you have to re-apply your nose to the grind stone.

Where to Download Free Fonts

Back in the 90’s (early 90’s), it was still cool to find a new CD with a hundred or so fonts for $30 (clearance $5) at Office Depot or something.  Fifteen years later that just isn’t cool but there is a growing need again for fonts.  Instead of trying to get some obscure font for a Word Perfect document, people are trying to get an obscure font for their website, logo, or blog.

Well, with the power of Adobe and 1001Fonts.com, that is pretty easy and it just happens to be free too!

They actually probably have more than 1001 fonts, (I haven’t and won’t count, but I’d bet you could add a zero to that number).

So the next time you just have to set up a niche blog for outdoor furniture or people that love to polish teak chests, and you need that perfect font that no one else will find.  You know where to go!
