Ya desertrat if you want to have a go, and I can look at it but my work labtop only has photoshop on it and it is really slow, wait actually it has NVU so I might be able to do some coding with that if it works...

I feel so bad, leaving you guys hanging like this...Friging work.

[desertrat]

chris, don't worry ! you don't leave us hanging, you are doing SO MUCH work over here ! i actually had a look at the coding stuff today. shall i give it a try ? i think i can do it (the way you proposed - taking a template and adjusting it). i don't want to take that thing away from you, but maybe i can lift a bit of stress from you...

[ChrisFewa]

lol no it is no problem have a go, if you have questions ask away, i should be able to get on at night.

but it should be simple to edit a temp, just change color and hieghts and stuff.  And the logo should be easy too.

I am really sorry again, but don't worry walking around a hotel with no ac for 5 days will be just the beginnings of my punishment.

[desertrat]

as i said before - don't be sorry, you are doing so much work for this place !

you poor guy....unplugged for 5 days !!!! 

[desertrat]

just a short update - working on the shop, this thing is a b..ch, i'll soon (hopefully today) provide a link to the version i got so far.

pete, chris, you can check the first version of the shop. there's a couple of problems i'm still fighting, so it doen't look any good yet.
1.) the color range the script can read is limited. no light blue available (the one that's on there at the moment was the closest possible  ). i'm trying to find a light grey, not successful so far
2.) haven't managed to change the fonts (style and size) on the menue table yet. still working on that.

i hope i can find solutions for those problems in the weekend. i'll give my best.

I am home, but getting shipped out till sunday.  I'll try and help when I can.

Welcome back Chris.

Martina, don't get too caught up in matching colors if it is not possible (not often you will hear a gay man use those words).

Also, after the design is there a possibility that you can look at the images in the image basket and see if some of them can't be better sized for the merchandise? I have the right sizes for some merchandise (according to the specs given by Cafe Press), but many of the sizes won't fit the merchandise they should fit (especially the bumper stickers). I'm also not sure if the logoes on the shirts are at optimal size. If you have time at all and can look at those, that would be swell.

Thanks so much for your time.

Martina, I've made the copy edits to the store. Is there anything else we need to do on there? At least it more closely matches what we have now. Thanks.

I'm guessing there is not a way to add a link back to the forum store on the left column (with all the internal links).

Martina,

I've also emailed some comments from Dave, so check your email!

Thanks.

pete, I'm going to work on all of that first thing tomorrow morning. i expected to have a bit more time this weekend, but i had grandparents around all weekend, so no time for anything else. but i promise to do it tomorrow 

[desertrat]

made some of the changes dave asked about...still working on the sizing of the text and the colour of the sidebar.

[peteinportland]

Thank you!

Hello all,

Do you either of you have an ETA on this? I ask becuase we are reaching a very critical point in our calendar. We have a number of fundraising items lined up, but we need to do this one first (introduce the store), and we are about to run into some serious timing issues with other things we have planned.

I hate to bug you, but this has taken on a fairly urgent need.

Thanks so much.

Pete
