Thanks to everyone that has been adding photos to the SpreadshirtUSA Flickr Pool. I am going to try to post more of them here on the blog because these are great pictures.

I like this picture for 2 reasons:

1. the caption is awesome
2. this picture does a great job showing how awesome the gold flex looks, especially on the black

Caption: This is completely and totally my favourite shirt in the whole world (in full, it reads “Too Metal for the Northwest”), and I freaking designed it.

Spreadshirt’s own Adam Fletcher, who is the mastermind behind the blog HipHipUK has launched a new blog T Junction. Here is how Adam describes T Junction…

This one is pure tshirt porn. No attempts at intelligence here, just cottony goodness. I buy alot of shirts I’d estimate at any given time there are 20 shirts I want. Thats too many for my meager budget to afford. I also like bargains, the feeling from being a smart consumer and saving a few €’s. I guess I’m not the only person like this, which is why this site will be updated daily but only with sales and coupon codes for the best online tshirt stores.

For the Shop Partners, Adam has even put out a call for info for the blog. If you know of any t-shirts sales email Adam. If he features your tip, you get entered into a drawing to win the “swag bag.” Adam will have some amazing swag bags.

Did you know that Spreadshirt offers gift-wrapping? Yes we do. Just for Valentine’s Day, when you select “Valentine’s Day Present” as the gift wrapping option your gift recipient will receive a custom card from you and we will add 3 special valentine’s day baby buttons to your order.

Here is a picture of the buttons:

Just a quick reminder, only 3 days left for FREE SHIPPING!

Leah, the graphics guru, has been hard at work on creating some new (and totally awesome) valentine’s day designs.  Just visit the designer and select designs.  She has even created a category “Velentine’s Day” so they are easy to find.

We want to see your valentines day gifts!  Please send us pictures if your valentine in their Spreadshirt gift - email lpa - at- spreadshirt.com

Just wanted to apologize to everyone for the technical difficulties with the webinar yesterday.  We think it is a problem with our phone system here at Spreadshirt.  We are working on the phone system right now, as I write this they are running around testing phones and connections.  We will be working on getting the recorded version online.

You can check out a summary of the 20 tips in the forum

I have been working on the About Us page for Washable Wisdom.com for the past few days and I am feeling rather uninspired.  So I thought I would write to you, and see what you think about the about page.  Do you read the about page when you visit websites?  I often do and I like to read the stories behind the sites.  For an interesting About page check out Johnny Cupcakes.  He calls the about page “The Story”.  He has a great story that is fun to read.

What other things do you put on your About page?
