Anne; I am so glad to see you get this up and running so fast!
I now you worked hard all nite to make it happen. . . . .Hope we sell tons of stuff. If each member (active ones who have turned to this site and gotten helpful advice or encouragement) would buy just one item it could really help us stay afloat and maybe be able to add some of the things we want like the photos album or the chat room. I know each addition to a site requires more power servers which cost more money!!! Let's go guys. I have my eye on a couple of things I want to get.

Anne, how wonderful!! I will be buying something just as soon as I can. The prices are pretty competative. What is going to be involved with personalizing them?

I bought the big mug so I don't have to get up as often for refills. The kitty on the design looks like Mr. Alex but without the gray spot.

Yeah! A first sale! Thanks Alex!

As for personalized products. I thought that if people wanted to I could do the design with whatever they like on it. Say, put their cat in the middle instead of the white cat. I would charge an additional 4$ for this (for mugs or shirts, as it involves some Photoshop work to get a good quality print.

For a different design altogether - say someone wants a shirt with their cattery's logo and some other text and colors etc., I would charge an additional 30$ per shirt design and additional 25$ per mug design, as each design takes about 2 hours to make (and you need to have totally different ones for mugs vs. shirts). I will give a 5$ discount on this rate if I can add a line that says "visit TheCatSite.com" though. These are prices if you buy one item. I can lower the prices quite a bit for larger orders.

If anyone's interested, just email me.

I was "talking" about it in a webmasters forum yesterday. Just thought I'd add that everyone that got one of their products were very pleased. They said the quality was really good and the delivery fast. Apparently CafePress is becoming very popular among web sites owners.

Thanks again Alex for letting me know about them!

I ordered one of the ash-gray T-shirts. I've a zillion coffee mugs, but I need more T-shirts with summer on its way! Thanks for offering those items. How about putting a pitch on the home page?

My mug came in the mail today
! I love it
! The graphic is really well executed. Good detail on the kitty's face. Nell has already tried to drink out of it.
