heeeeeyyy, so, the shop got a makeover of sorts today.  a new theme at least.

to do: update all the pics (reallllllly don't want to do that), and add the mp3 player back (i'm not sure where i want to put it).

i just mention this to ask everybody if they find a bug, please PM or email me and let me know.  i'd really appreciate it!  i've tested most things i could think may have been affected, and it all works for me,

but, ya know.

thanks!

***question: for the pics, would my wood workbench i've used for the background of some of them look alright (do you think) for all the pics?  i need something consistent, i hate editing, so i'll need a consistent backdrop.  i like the way the wood looks, but it might be overkill repeated over and over.  i'm an earthtone/laidback/mellow type, and wood makes sense in my tastes (which may not be the best).  but, it might be too much.  the pics (and getting them totally consistant) are the part thats bugging me now...

wood, or a white cloth backdrop? 

i could always just abandone reason too and take them all in situ...

bleh.  too much design today.

either do them ALL on the wood table or have a few different but consistent backdrops that you rotate between, but I'd say right now it looks a little messy having some things floating on a white background and some things sitting on a solid wooden table.
or if you feel like editing them all do allll of them on a white background

looking good. but honestly, i dont like it as much as the old template.
also,
on the very front page. the "3 featured products" then after that
the "newest products"... there is very little distinction between them.
and since they are some of the same products it could be a bit
confusing. IMHO.

ok, thanks!

a lot of people don't like it like the other one.  several people miss the vomiting monster, haha...

but, anyways, yeah.  i see your points.  bigcartel is a little limiting with how it generates the lists, but writing some exclusions as to what shows up on the home page (to avoid double-items) would be doable methinks...

or, i might just turn the homepage into a slideshow...  was considering that.  and turn off new/most sold catagories altogether...  some nice high quality pics, or whatever

thanks for the CC! 

first, the flash player!  ahha

ps - i like your avatar

inverted screen, totally fucked LCD (for testing), running Casper (the soundtrack isn't synced on the channels, so if you play the menu long enough it gets way off time and its funny)

hey everybody -

to keep this orderly and short, here's some things that were out-of-stock that are now back in stock:

*last one* bloody NES shirt: http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/bloody-nes-t-shirt
*last four* NES/C64 Stereo Mod: http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/nesmod
RGBbb kits: http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/rgbbb
Everdrive-GG (USB as well): http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/everdrive-gg
Master Everdrive (non-USB): http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/ma … ve-non-usb
Tri-Wing Screwdrivers (the good yellow ones): http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/hi … crewdriver
new colors in the keychain: http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/ki … t-keychain

the last thing i want to mention is a new addition to the site (apart from a total thematic overhaul): the "want" button...

if you click the button there is an ad that explains what it is much better than I can. its a very nifty service, i think it will come in handy to a lot of people. it also totally solves the issues of splitting bills between friends and working out holiday/birthday orders with your folks wink

hope everyone has a great weekend!

until next time, keep chipping,

matt
