It Just Keeps Getting Better

Scott and I did another round of feature-polish and debugging this weekend.

  • Fixed a cart bug that was giving certain OS/Web Browser combinations trouble.
  • When a shirt that is counting down hits zero, it now instantly reverts back to green instead of waiting for the whole page to hit the scheduled 5 minute refresh. (We also fixed the pointer/hand mouse-over issue when hovering over unclickable buttons.)
  • Site copy has been adjusted to make the buying experience more consistent from page to page as you move through the cart.
  • We added a contextual error message to let someone know what’s going on if they try to head back to the home page while they still have a shirt in their cart.

There’s more stuff in the works, but that’s it for now. You keep buying shirts and we’ll keep making this site better. If there are features you’d like to see, or something you think is confusing or not well laid out, let us know in the comments or via the contact page.

I built The Gallery section of the site last night. It will be the place to get all vital statistics, and pictures of, shirts that we have sold in the past. Right now it only contains our beta test shirt, but it will fill up as we keep moving along…

Oooooooh, look at how web 2.0 we are. We’ve got comments. We can have a community…

I’ve added some commenting to the blog, but only on the new design announcements. This is where discussions on each new design will take place. The first design announcement, and hence, the first place you can comment is here. Now, go make me some user generated content, so I can stop spending every free minute I have populating this site.

Oh, and in a brutal stroke of irony: At 7:37am on July 2nd, 2008, in The Power & Light District, downtown Kansas City, the stoplights aren’t working.

  • A Twitter link to the 200 Nipples Blog
  • A Friend Feed link to the 200 Nipples Blog
  • Better design resolution in Internet Explorer 7 (Firefox: It’s free, safer and faster.)
  • Layout fix for the button grid Internet Explorer 6 (Firefox: It’s free, safer and faster.)
  • A better home-page explanation of what it is we’re actually doing around here
  • A contact form email delivery confirmation message that actually displays
  • Improved multiple-cart count down accuracy on the home page
  • Sizing charts for all shirts
  • Two quashed typos

We work hard for the money! Woo- Woo… This beta test will end July 1st. At that time we’ll have a new shirt design and be promoting like mad.

You have two options if you’d like to receive a quick reminder the day before we have a new shirt go up on the site.

We’ve got an RSS feed just for that: 200 Nipples New Shirt Notice RSS Feed

Or you can sign up to get an email reminder.

The only thing you will receive, by subscribing here, is the day-before notice for the next shirt. Full blog subscriptions are available via the links on the right.

Thanks!
