Html block module installation

As i said - we will use our free module named html block. Please download it and install it in your store. You don't have to use commercial modules because this free version allows you to use header section (where all fonts, css styles and scripts should be added). After installation of this addon - open module configuration page. From the left hand side block select "home" hook. And in the right hand side block insert code generated in google fonts website.

 

this is an exmaple of the code for google font:

<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

 

After saving changes, font code will appear between the <head></head> tags - it is necessary for google fonts. And it's a good practice. So remember to use header hook in the module configuration page.
