    Haha. Once I had an ebay store and I laid about 40 different shirt designs out in the floor and photographed them all in a short time. I remember having to crop my feet out of like every one of the shots.

    Find some babes to model them! Just find some 16 year old girls, and be like, hey, I have a t-shirt company that needs models, and give 'em a free shirt and they’ll be all about it because you’ll make them feel pretty and they might give you a beej cause 16 year old girls are insecure like that a lot

    You so copied my big cartel css. I was looking at it and I was thinking how did he get the black box behind the price and the total price text on the checkout to be black ... that took me hours to figure out.

    Did you read my post about stealing big cartel css?

    One thing is you need to change your background color to white. On my wide screen monitor I can see the edges that are gray.

    to be honest jon I just did what you said was in your blog.. and the only reason I used yours was to get a background image. if you want me to change it I can.

    but this was really helpful of your blog.

    Find a CSS you want to use The css info for big cartel is found at http://sitename.bigcartel.com/custom.css Replace “sitename” with whatever site you want to find the css for For example mine is http://mediocore.bigcartel.com/custom.css Save this CSS file to your hard drive and place it in the bigcartel-css-kit folder you downloaded Put the CSS file in the stylesheets folder The folder should already contain a file called kit.css Make a copy of this file in case you mess up Rename the css file that’s called custom.css and rename it kit.css In the bigcartel-css-kit folder open the file called index.html You should now see the design from the big cartel store you got the css file from Open the file kit.css You can get a css reader. I just use Dreamweaver Find every place where they use an image and save the image to your hard drive You want to use their css and not steal their design Go through all the images and put in your own design Save all the images in a folder and host them on your own site Change all of the image links in the css and link them to your image files on your host

    and thanks everyone!
