Hello, I'm new to Cafe Press but not new to html. I'm using custom html for my shop. Right now it's VERY ugly. I want to make lots of changes to it but I can figure out where some of the code is being pulled in from. Can anybody help or are there any paid services that will help me tweak this design?

I think your shop looks great. I am really struggling with mine and truly belive I just don't "get it" with this shop design stuff!

Thanks Cheryl. What is the link to your site?

I like your shop as well. It's simple and elegant. I think like me, you are now in a holding pattern waiting for your shop to catch on. I've been hunting around these boards for help on how to get things jump started. Oddly enough, in the age of the internet, good old fashioned face to face and old media might be the way to spur sales locally at a higher rate than advertising online.

Thanks for your reply Cute. Yes I'm waiting for it to catch on. I've done all my SEO work and have added the link to all my sites. I'm just waiting for my first calendars test to arrive so I can start to push it to my social media fans and maybe take out some target Facebook ads and Google ads. I like your design a lot! Did you do it? Where did you get the waffle discount?

Leighton, thank you for your kind words about my design. Yes I created it. I am serving as art director, designer, copy writer, marketing guy, etc.etc. Honestly the blog is the real focus for now. The store will hopefully provide some synergy to generate revenue. The long term plan is put up a more comprehensive portal site. But that's another 6 months or so. Need a team!

As for the waffle discount, that's just a code that generated by cpcoupon. Go here for more info:

Very cool. I like your design sense. Very clean but stylized. The other half of my biz is an ad agency. http://www.blueswirls.com. I work with a core of freelancers that do work for me. Do you want to send me your e-mail address? leighton@leightonoconnor.com I'd like to see if you would be interested in tweaking the design of my shop. I have gone as far as I can with my html knowledge.

Thanks,
Leighton
