Okay... so I just had a "moment..." let's just say... I have kind of a "raccoon face" going on.
I'm on the site cleaning up a few things (as I do regularly) and noticed a tab called "Store." As in... it was live!!! I mean...
Yeah... we were just dumbfounded!! I don't even know what to say. I mean, many of you know that we have been working on merch, and fewer of you know we've even been working on much more than just that. However, none of that is even close to ready to go here. Not at all where we'd need a store on the site yet.
Between figuring out who is going to make the merch (and other stuff), designing it (all levels of design), sampling it, and then revisiting the drawing board, it's been a long time in the making. We want to do this right... lol the irony. It doesn't just end there, though. We have also had to find ways to incorporate it into the site. Just having the merch isn't the end of the road. We needed to figure out what software to use, which merchant account, etc. In doing all this, it feels like we have experienced more trial and error than the time between this ...
... and this...
And if you click the jet image, THOSE pictures will just further emphasize our fails. lol
So... what's my point?? If any of you clicked on that "store," an embarrassingly inappropriate word that is far too much a blandishment for what the "Store" was as posted...
I mean, there was NOTHING but a hoodie in it (not even a good one. I just slapped some images on a hoodie), and that was ONLY to test the checkout software because I needed a product to run through the checkout. What's more, we didn't like that software and have already moved on from that. So it was a fake hoodie and garbage software. lol. Just omg!!
Some days, this learning new stuff in the public eye just has an effect on you...
Anyway, I have NO CLUE how that happened, and I apologize profusely to anyone that ended up there like...
what is this...
Well... in the future, I ask you all to please keep this in mind - THESE (click that) are the two people running this...
So... I ask you...
Needless to say... the store has since been removed...
