As a present to ourselves for our 1st birthday, we’re launching another invaluable resource for t-shirt enthusiasts, Tshirt Reference. While it is still a little rough around the edges, the basic structure is in place to create the single greatest t-shirt reference source and catalog on the Internet.
Some things you can currently do with Tshirt Reference:
- Search links by category (we currently include seven categories)
- Search links by tags (you can add as many or as few tags as you’d like)
- Search links by title
- View links by contributor
- Search the website by keywords
- Leave comments about specific websites
- Rank websites using a 6-star system
- Earn points for submitting links and comments (with a chance to win prizes during the month of October)
- More to come
We saw a real need for this taxonomy-based catalog after reading this discussion on the extensive lists to be found at the now (apparently) defunct I Heart Shirts. And now that we’ve finally duct-taped together all the pieces, we need your help to make this website sing -- AND you could win a $25 Threadless gift card for your efforts.
Participants earn 5 points for every link submitted and 1 point for each comment. You must sign up to the website to participate (and suggest links) but everyone is welcome to use our website to find the teeshirt website built for you. To make this t-shirt catalog most valuable, please adhere to our submission guidelines.
---------------
We’re keeping track of user points through the month of October (right on through Halloween) and the top five users -- by points -- will each earn a $25 gift certificate.

So what are you waiting for? Stop by and sign up now to become a part of the greatest t-shirt links collection on the Internet.

Contest is still going strong and there are few participants (which means the odds of you winning are very high right now).
We would love to see more Emptees artists promoting their shops and sites that interest them on the site!

Eden I love what your doing and your always so great to me and my clothing line.
From a users stand point I think you have room for improvement. The biggest problem I see is that the link title, the description, and the date added are all the same value. There needs to be some hierarchy usually where the title is in bold and the description is in book weight. The date created and the updated doesn’t need to be included.
In the navigation I have to click categories and then click a sub category on the next page. There’s enough room in the front page navigation to include everything. This is really what the site is about, the links, so making it easier to get to would be a plus.

I really appreciate the feedback Jon. Those are all incredibly helpful suggestions that we will try to incorporate over the next few days.
Please keep sending suggestions for improvement. If there are any people out there familiar with Drupal who would like to help us make this project more successful, we’d love to work with you.
