When styling fonts with CSS you may be doing this:

font-weight: bold;
font-style: italic;
font-variant: small-caps;
font-size: 1em;
line-height: 1.5em;
font-family: verdana,sans-serif
And thats a lot of code to type and the CSS file gets big with if you have a lot of font rules!
There’s no need though as you can use this CSS shorthand property:
font: bold italic small-caps 1em/1.5em verdana,sans-serif
Much better! Just a few of words of warning: This CSS shorthand version will only work if you’re specifying both the font-size and the font-family. The font-family command must always be at the very end of this shorthand command, and font-size must come directly before this. Also, if you don’t specify the font-weight, font-style, or font-variant then these values will automatically default to a value of normal, so do bear this in mind too.
This is useful when you want to make your Joomla templates load faster, you can reduce the file size of your CSS files considerably by using this method.

Here is a screenshot of the magento admin panel.

Navigate through menu > System > Configuration> Design > Transactional Emails.

Select and upload the logo , then set the ALT text. and save. Alt text is important as most email clients block images in email s by default.

You should check the configuration.php file of your Joomla application and make sure the following lines are correct:

var $dbtype = ‘mysql’;
var $host = ‘localhost’;
var $user = ‘user_name’;
var $password = ‘YourPassword’;
var $db = ‘database_name’;
var $dbprefix = ‘jos_’;
You should make sure you are using the correct MySQL username and database in your configuration.php file. You can use the MySQL Databases tool in your cPanel in order to check the correct username and database for your Joomla. In addition, make sure that your MySQL username is added to your database. This issue can also be caused by errors within the database itself. In such cases you can try restoring your Joomla database.

Whenever creating a new file for the Joomla! installation you must avoid using certain text editors such as , WordPad, Word, for example as they unfortunately have a tendency to add unwanted and unnecessary code that may cause problems later on. Always remember to save files in plain text format.

When creating a quality Joomla extension you will place your styles and javascript codes on seperate files.

Then here is the way to add those files in to the joomla extension the proper way.
