    Hi Clyde,

    I was approached sometime ago to put my web design skills to use to assist in
    the relaunch of Destee's forum and am not sure how much time I can provide but I
    can definitely pass along some useful information that will facilitate this
    project.

    There is a website www.joomla.org that is an open source content management
    system. Albeit I have yet to use the software, my due diligence
    does suggest that this would be the tool of choice.

    I myself have never worked with Joomla but will be launching 2 projects using
    the technology and therefore will become quite familiar with the tool in the
    foreseeable future.

    Please feel free to contact me with any feedback...

    theeory

    Update on tee-shirts

    I just spoke to the silkscreener and I met with the teeshirt manufacturer today as well.

    This is not a final quote, that will come tomorrow around 1 p.m. my time, or 2 p.m. your time. What I have is this:

    I asked them to quote us for 200 of each design. 1000 shirts in all.

    I have a Gildan Color Guide in which I picked out some colors for the different graphics, I can post this if you want into the thread (it will take a little while to upload into photobucket but I can have it done within 1 hour or 2)

    Also, I really like the Destee Speak Up and Speak out for a womban's tank top, military green, and I thought a nice sleeveless T-shirt in Black for the men with the first image would look sharp.

    This gives us a bit of variety without branching too far out into unknown waters.

    Back to the numbers. The tees themselves range about $3-4 / each, and then there will be the silkscreen price. I'm hoping the quote will come back around $12 /each, leaving us the ability to sell them for double that. I still have to factor in shipping costs, but I'm brainstorming on that as well, I want to see what the intentions are behind getting the tee-shirts first.

    Brother Meta

    The silkscreener would like to know if you can supply the graphics in PDS form or adobe illustrater output?

    Also, there is a link to the website showing the catalogue of merchandise..
