This is my first time at Beer and Blog, held every Friday from 4-6 p.m. at the PDX Green Dragon Brewpub and Bistro.  So many Tweeples in one place, in the flesh!  It’s a bit overwhelming (and I happen to be shy, too).

Green Dragon is located at SE 9th and Belmont, and part of it is a Quonset hut, of all things.  Lots of brew and yummy smelling food (although I’m just having a coke).  Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating (I gather that Beer and Blog has been held outside previously, but it’s getting coldish now).

Beer and Blog is sometimes just a neighborly work session, and sometimes there is a speaker on a certain topic.  Today’s presentation was by Bram Pitoyo, on using fonts/typefaces to make your blog more readable.  Do you know the difference between a font and a typeface?  I do, now!

UPDATE:  You can now view Bram Pitoyo’s slide show, “How to Make Your Blog Read Better” online.
