Need PORGinions
"Benign Vanilla" wrote in message ... "Newbie Bill" wrote in message .. . My first thought when I saw the site was "Why would I buy stuff to advertise his website?". You may be famous, but only to us(or is that infamous). It also strikes me as small. Been a while since I priced screen printing but my inclination would be to have a bigger 'message' along with a significant size pond graphic. If it was still red and/or black I doubt it would cost any more. Less if you didnt print one side. One sided I would suggest the back. That's my two cents worth, which is about all I can afford towards a presumed $20+ T shirt, after shipping. Thanks to both Bills. I think the shirts will be updated, as will all other gear, to dump the .COM. I thought it would work small, but I guess I knew deep down inside, that it wouldn't. On to your question about why advertise the site? My only answer is that I plan to keep the database free forever, so any advertising, or product based revenue I can get will offset the work and the expenses. I am hoping someday to be able to collect and amass all of the usefull information I get from fellow PORG's into one place that is easy to find, search and read. This for the benefit of all. BV. I don't know how capable you are in doing this, or how practical this is, but one idea that struck me was to offer custom shirts. For instance, you could make shirts with a picture of the buyer's pond silk screened on it. That will likely make the shirt more expensive, but if they come out nice, others may want them as well. Alternatively, you could have some sort of pond photography contest where the winner could receive a shirt with his/her pond silk screened on it, and the photo showcased on your web site. Just a late-night thought. |

In fact, the green frog mouse pad was created from a photo I took at Shareholders Pond this spring, http://www.cafeshops.com/iheartmypond.11728142. If I am not mistaken this is Lefty the handicapped frog. Anyway, I am able to create T-shirts from almost any source. The images have to be good quality, and it would take some work, but I'd be willing to do it for the PORG's here. BV. |

You are just too good to be true, BV!
I order T shirts with my pond pictures from my website at webshots.com. They only cost $15.00 and are no problem to do. 'Course they only come in the white color.
