Artisan Tip: Backing Up Windows Fonts Folder
We love designing with fonts on our Artisan pages! Our computers come with pre-installed fonts, but very often we are looking for more than the standard fonts. It won’t be long before you have hundreds if not thousands of Windows installed fonts. When you create a "live" text box (the text is editable) in Artisan, the software is using the Windows Fonts Folder to create that text. When you change computers and that same font is not on the new computer, the "live" text box will default to the standard font, Microsoft Sans Serif.

Artisan Tip: Refining Tags
If you are in the habit of tagging your content, you may come to a point where you would like to tweak the tags that you've chosen. Maybe you realize the system you are using isn't working for you, or maybe you don't have a system, or you have multiple systems and they are fighting with each other! It may be that you want all of your tags to start with an upper case (or a lower case) letter or you want them to all be either singular or plural. Perhaps you have one tag that has lots of one particular item in there - enough that that item needs its own tag - so that the other items become hard to find. Whatever the reason, there are some very simple ways to refine your tagging system without having to start over.
