OCTOBER 2007

After a long rest, a new issue of the newsletter. Once again, with a design update. Also, it should now (I hope) display correctly in all webmail services, especially Gmail and Hotmail. This means back to tables and font-tags, and no CSS. Yeah! In your face, web standards!

Merchandise: T-shirts

Closing my Cafepress shop. Focussing on my Bountee shop instead. AND lowering all my prices. How low? I've completely removed my mark-up on everything. That's how low.

Why am I closing my Cafepress shop? Short answer: Cafepress sucks. The end.

It's considerably easier to use Bountee in every respect. I bought one this week and am looking forward to seeing the quality. I'll be sure to let you know what I think.

And why did I remove my mark-up from my t-shirts? Well, I'm only selling 2-3 t-shirts a month, so why bother trying to make an extra 3 bucks off sales? I'm just glad to see people wearing them. In fact, if you've got pictures of yourself wearing my t-shirts, I started this Flickr group for just this reason.
