 What's new at Warp 9 Design?
May 13, 2007-- Additions were made to the race shoppe.
May 9, 2007-- Much discussion has been made as to whether the new designs for The American Pride section should be called targets or shields. I don't much care except that I had written a poem of sorts about being an American and not caring if I am hated if I am hated by basically the jackasses of the world. I had started by calling the first design a target. Cafepress saw fit to remove this design from my use...three years after I had been using it! I was given no reason. All I could come up with was perhaps it looked too much like Captain America's shield. Of course it was different and that there are many more for sale on cafepress that look very similar still for sale but cafepress has no recourse to complain about such things. So I decided rebelliously to remake it and repost it. Afterall it took them three years to find it the first time right? Well once I started creative adventure took over as it does sometime and we had four new designs, based on the first of course. You will never see these because I then decided I wanted six altogether and that the first four need needed changes. They were really just "sketches" ultimately. So targets? Or shields? They are red, white and blue circles with red, white, and blue stars. They will always be targets to me but we decided on shield in the title of half of them. Oh and you may as well check out this page for the spiffy new entry image.
April 20, 2007--Drove across the whole dang country! I'm back online.
April 5, 2007-- Busy. Making the move to the west coast.
January 5, 2007-- Again I have left the site to fend for itself. Really I have been on the west coast for the past 10 days checking the scene out there. I will likely be relocating there in the near future. That of course matters little for this site. I have plans for this site that I hope to institute in the next few weeks. Still recovering from the surgery of a few weeks ago. Walking for exercise and soon will be going back to the pool for laps. Tired from all the travel and dealing with the details of moving and paying all the bills of my being out of work the last 12 weeks (so far) and the hospital bills of a humble artist without insurance. Wanna help? buy some stuff haha! not really, only fat checks will help now. I am in positive spirits though. Got to keep moving, keep living, keep doing what you need to be responsible for yourself and your loved ones. Didn't think you where going to get philosphy today did you?
2007
December 17, 2006-- Changed up some cafepress buttons in the racing section, much easier to navigate now. Updated the best sellers sections. Fixed the nav roll-overs, only one changed color. Updated the Holiday Store page and all links associated with it.
December 16, 2006-- I have returned! Probably missed all the christmas shoppers but thats ok. If I where in this for the money I would have closed up long ago haha. Right now I am recovering from back surgery. I am doing much better. Thank you for all your support. My freinds and family you have all been really supportive.
After the october entry I soon could not get off the floor. I spent three weeks living on a blanket on the floor. I had an MRI done and found there was a herniated disc at L5-S1. Through much deliberation I decided to have the surgery. That was a week ago. As I said I am doing much better, for the most part the only pain I have is from the incision itself. Strenght has returned to my right leg and I no longer have pain in the lower leg/ankle area.
October 2006-- An injury is keeping me from updating this site for awhile. Hopefully I will not lose too many viewers over it. See you when I can.
October 1, 2006-- Finally figured out what was wrong with the cafepress banner! That was tough. I had to recode the whole damn thing! Hey it works now don't it! Even figured how to make it stylishly appear above the cafepress logo, what a bonus. woot!
September 9, 2006-- Updated main banner and new links. Hope you like it. It sure loads faster so the dial-up people will appreciate that.
September 6, 2006-- Ok so I didnt expect the design to happen fast but I did expect to have abit more control on it. Please forgive any madness of colors or fonts for awhile as we wrangle the best of this site and bring you more than ever before. Thank you.
September 5, 2006-- hmm, I seem to have lost two news entries for july and august. Oh well lets just get to it. You probably already noticed the new original art page. Cool, aint it? This is just the begining of a redesign to make these pages load faster and look better. There will be more original art for sale here but those posted now won't last too long so get them while they are available and still inexpensive.
June 14, 2006-- The main page is redesigned yet again. As you have seen the best sellers are now in the center and the links go along the left side. What a pain Internet Explorer was giving me. It would not read the HTML code properly. It took me two days of messing with it before I gave in and asked for help. Oh well it looks alright now. I had to make some small concession in the layout though. I'm not happy about that but you will never notice so I'm not telling!
There is now a special page just for racing topics and gear. The Race Shoppe. Its not 100% at this point but its a real good start. There will be more to follow for the other topics.
June 7, 2006-- I can't believe I have been away from this forum so long. I have been busy, but wow. I feel that I have to make it up to the site itself and any of you who have returned to find nothing changed. Well here we go. The shops are doing better now than last year at this time and I will be posting this months top sellers soon. They are different this month and I think that is pretty neat so thank you for encouraging me by validating some designs which traditionally have not done as well as others.
Some things on the horizon...
REAL ART ... in otherwords not prints or cards or mugs or even t-shirts, but actual art. I am moving towards setting something up at ebay which I will announce here first and then list on ebay for purchase. Why ebay you ask? well I deal with cafepress for all the other items. They take the order for me and place the order for me, and so at this time I dont have the merchants setup for taking credit card orders and all that goes into that. Also the added exposure the item will get on ebay has distinct value. It may be sooner or later but it will happen so look for it.
Also new pages specific to shop topics will be created and added. These will include details about the new products and designs with new photos to dress the whole thing up. I'm excited! Well that's it for now. I have to leave something to talk about tomorrow!
