<div dir="ltr">None of this will surprise anyone as I've been laying the ground work for this but I wanted to spell it out before tomorrow. If I have time I will post complete mockups for the zazzle store and lists of items for the amazon store before the meeting tomorrow. I meant to pull all that together tonight but fell into a rabbit hole of trying to figure out how to connect to a new server before realizing I had an old rsa value stored for a reused domain name causing me grief that's why ssh was rejecting. I probably would have noticed it sooner if I wasn't trying to watch Agents of Shield at the same time.<div>

<br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">The Zazzle store will support multiple products of different designs so we will take advantage of that. The initial offerings will include t-shirts, a coffee mug and a sticker design. If these are successful we will introduce more. The items will use the "made in the USA" option to ensure they are ethically sourced. All shirts would be in male and female cuts in a wide variety of sizes.</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
