Title: Alternate online store
Post by: MrBogosity on June 13, 2009, 06:44:36 PM
I've just very quickly put some Bogosity products up on Zazzle to see if that might be a better option for an online store. See what you think:

Different products are available. One advantage is that I can actually incorporate the store into the site if I want (I'd have to pay to do that with CafePress).

There are a couple of other options I'll look at a little later. And if anyone else knows of any, by all means, mention them here!

Of course, and I bet the religious people have no issue putting out posters criticizing atheist.

Windows Clipboard FAIL.

I just got a clarification from Zazzle: The above message ONLY applied to the postage stamp. The rest of the posters etc. are still there and will continue to be. The postage stamp is an actual USPS 44-cent stamp, so they have to abide by their rules with stamps.

So, no creationist stamp, but the rest of the posters remain.
