Canvakala User Manual CanvaKala User Manual CanvaKala Pro allows you to completely change the way your WordPress site looks by adding 750+ fonts and font effects; a complete built-in image editor (with the possibility of searching for free images online that you can start using straight away), and an improved video player with 7 unique skins. INSTALLATION PROCESS This plugin is installed like any other Premium plugins. You should go to Plugins >> Add New and then choose “Upload”. The next step is to select the .zip file that you downloaded, and click on “Install Now”. 2 USING THE PLUGIN 1. FONTS With the font functionality of the plugin, you can: 1) Change the default fonts used by your theme (choose from over 650 Google fonts) 2) Add new fonts to be used in the standard WP editor 3) Use over 30 font effects to make your content stand out Getting started: The first thing you will need to do is to activate the fonts you'll want to use for your site (you can only use those fonts that you have previously activated). Make sure not to activate too many fonts, or your site's performance might get hurt (a safe number to have is from 2 to 4 active fonts). When you access the CanvaKala Pro > Fonts menu, you'll find combinations of recommended fonts that you can start using straight away, or you can browse the complete list of Google Fonts. 3 Under the recommended fonts section, you have the following possibilities: Preview: get a quick look of what your site would look like with those fonts (doesn’t make any changes yet) Enable: marks both fonts as active so that they can be used in the selectors above, or in the WP editor Set as default: enables those fonts and sets the headline title as standard for all <h1>, <h2> etc in your theme, plus the body text as standard for all <p> items in your theme. Under "All fonts", you will get a complete list of all 650+ Google fonts, that you can use in your site. For each Font, you can: Activate/Deactivate: Once you activate a Font, you will be able to use it in the standard WP editor, plus it will be visible in the dropdowns at the top of the page, to modify the theme standards. Preview: See a longer text to get a better idea of what the Font looks like Once you have at least one active font, at the top of the screen you have the possibility to change the default font used for the different elements of your theme (headers, body, lists...). You can, also, optionally, use one of the 20+ Google effects available with the plugin. 4 Font effects Here you will find two sets of effects: 1) Google Effects: need to be activated manually 2) CanvaKala effects: are enabled by default, can be used in the WP editor straight away Google Fonts Effects can be also used to edit your theme styles. 5 Note: not all Google effects are available for all browsers; on the right you can find information about browser support. Once you have enabled some fonts and/or effects, you can use them in the WordPress standard editor. Under the “Fonts” dropdown you will find the standard fonts, plus those Google Fonts that you have enabled. Under “Formats” you will find all Font effects. You will also get Font sizes and Font foreground/background color selectors. 6 2. IMAGES Once you activate the plugin, your WordPress editor will have a new button at the top: "CanvaKala", which will allow you to import images, and edit them from within WordPress. Once you click on it, the first screen will allow you to choose the source of the picture you would like to use. These are the different options: 7 1) Search free images: You can find copyright free images online, and import them with just one click. To do the search, you only need to enter the desired keyword, and click “Search”.

Once you have picked the image you would like to work with, you have several options: Insert into the current post/page Download to your computer Store on WP media gallery Share on: 9 Facebook Pinterest Google + Twitter Save to Dropbox Save to Google Drive If, at this point, you click any of the options above, the image will be inserted/shared without any modifications from the original. On the right sidebar, apart from the SEO options, you will find a button to Edit the image.

The watermark can be a text (you can configure font family, size, color…) or an image. Tip: If you choose an image, make sure it’s not too big or it will cover your original image. To select the watermark position, edit position (9 possibilities) and offset (distance in pixels from the desired position). 17 3. VIDEOS When you activate the plugin, your standard WordPress editor will show a new button, that you can click any time to insert a skinned video, either stored on your site, or from Youtube. When you click on it, you get the following options: 18 Source: Image URL (either on your site, or Youtube URL) Skin: the skin you would like for your video Hide logo: if you have set up a logo for all your videos, but you would like to hide it on this particular video, select the checkbox. Poster image: The default image for the video before it starts playing Width/Height: Video size Autoplay: Check this box to make the video play automatically on page load Advanced tip: You can also insert your video manually anywhere by using the following shortcode: [canvakala-video src="video url" skin="skin1" width="300" height="400" autoplay="true"] Adding a logo to your video If you wish to add your own logo to the video player, all you need to do is configure it under the main menu CanvaKala >> Video On that screen you can select the image for your logo, the position and transparency.

  • “Det Är På Gott Och Ont” En Enkätundersökning Om Googles Insamling Av Användardata
    KANDIDATUPPSATS I BIBLIOTEKS- OCH INFORMATIONSVETENSKAP AKADEMIN FÖR BIBLIOTEK, INFORMATION, PEDAGOGIK OCH IT 2020 “Det är på gott och ont” En enkätundersökning om Googles insamling av användardata OLIVIA BÄCK SOFIA HERNQVIST © Författaren/Författarna Mångfaldigande och spridande av innehållet i denna uppsats – helt eller delvis – är förbjudet utan medgivande. Svensk titel: “Det är på gott och ont”: En enkätundersökning om Googles insamling av användardata Engelsk titel: “It’s for better and for worse”: A survey about Google’s collection of user data Författare: Olivia Bäck & Sofia Hernqvist Färdigställt: 2020 Abstract: This study focuses on Google’s user agreements and how students within the field of library and information science at the University of Borås are perceiving and relating to these agreements. User agreements are designed as contracts which makes the user data available for Google, but also for the user to protect his or her personal integrity. A problem recent studies show is that few internet users read these agreements and don’t know enough about what Google collect and do with their user data. In this study the concept of surveillance capitalism is used to describe how Google has become a dominant actor on a new form of market. This market is partly formed by Google’s business model which turns user data into financial gain for the company. It is discussed in recent studies that this form of exploitation of user data is problematic and is intruding on people’s personal integrity. The theoretical framework was constructed from theories that social norms influence human behaviour which makes people sign the agreements without reading them.

    BRAND GUIDELINES Ed-Fi Alliance v1 | Updated 02/26/19 The Ed-Fi Message Logos Trademarks Color Typography Applications THE ED-FI MESSAGE Introduction The Ed-Fi Alliance Brand Guidelines have been developed to ensure the Ed-Fi Alliance marks are used properly and consistently. The Ed-Fi Alliance trademarks (marks) are source identifiers that, if used correctly, will strengthen business reputation and goodwill. Proper use of all of the Ed-Fi Alliance trademarks will maintain and enhance the strength of the Ed-Fi Alliance marks and related goodwill. Failure to use the Ed-Fi Alliance marks correctly and consistently may result in dilution of the marks, and may even cause the marks to be deemed abandoned or to enter the public domain as common terms that can be used by everybody. It is therefore essential that all authorized users of the Ed- Fi marks take the necessary steps to ensure their protection. These guidelines were developed to support licensees in the use of the Ed-Fi marks and to guide all those involved in communicating the benefits of the Ed-Fi initiative in internal and external communications, documents, websites and other digital mediums. These guidelines apply to all Ed-Fi technology licensees. The license agreement you signed with the Ed-Fi Alliance (the “Alliance”) may have special trademark and logo usage guidelines different than the Guidelines set forth here. All Ed-Fi technology licensees should use these Brand and Trademark Guidelines. If you are a licensee, but have been provided no special guidelines, then follow these guidelines. The Alliance reserves the right to make changes to these guidelines as it deems necessary or appropriate at any time.

  • Google Fonts Montserrat Download Windows 10 Montserrat Font
    google fonts montserrat download windows 10 Montserrat font. The old posters and signs in the traditional neighborhood of Buenos Aires called Montserrat inspired me to design a typeface that rescues the beauty of urban typography from the first half of the twentieth century. The goal is to rescue what is in Montserrat and set it free, under a free, libre and open source license, the SIL Open Font License. As urban development changes this place, it will never return to its original form and loses forever the designs that are so special and unique. To draw the letters, I rely on examples of lettering in the urban space. Each selected example produces its own variants in length, width and height proportions, each adding to the Montserrat family. The old typographies and canopies are irretrievable when they are replaced. There are other revivals, but those do not stay close to the originals. The letters that inspired this project have work, dedication, care, color, contrast, light and life, day and night! These are the types that make the city look so beautiful. This is the Regular family, and it has two sister families so far, Alternates and Subrayada families. Many of the letterforms are special in the Alternates family, while . Read more.
