1. If I decide to use a font that's neither web safe nor a Google font, do I need to save it as an image, realizing that it cannot be read by search engines?

Did you enter a title in the box?

Since YouTube movies download with the webpage, you should never use more than one per page on a conventional site and NEVER use them at all on the mobile version.

It is possible to prevent YouTube downloading along with the web page and to show a poster image instead. I created a widget for this but wasn't happy with its performance. I have since found a better way but haven't actually created the widget. If you contact me I'll send you a copy to try when I get time to do it.

Using the widget you will be able to insert more than one YouTube per page and even use it on a mobile site.

Thanks for info on Youtube videos—that'll save me some headaches down the road. As for the title in the box, I entered it and saved it several times but for some reason it didn't take.
