The Trevor Project is a nonprofit organization that was established to promote acceptance for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth and to aid in crisis and suicide prevention among that group.

This month SKREENED is partnering with The Trevor Project for a T-shirt design contest that launched yesterday, August 3rd.

They will choose the top 5 designs to be featured on the SKREENED website to be voted on by the public.  The individual with the best rating will receive a GRAND PRIZE- a $25 gift card and a free shirt of their design!

So, if you think you can design, enter now before it’s too late!  The deadline is August 24th at 11:59pm.  What are you waiting for?? Hurry and click the picture link below to enter!!  I dare you!

We just launched some new features that are really cool.

Comments, ratings, social bookmarking and email design to a friend.

Now you can add your feedback to any design on skreened using a simple 5 star rating, and even comment about what whatever you’de like right on the shop pages.

Also, if you’re a social bookmarker, there’s a nifty, simple widget on each page that lets you share designs you like with your contacts on your favorite social network.

Of course, if you just want to email it to a friend, that’s cool too. It’s all right there on the page.



NEW- Irregular, Fantastic!, and sugar free.

If that doesn’t sound like a spam email headline, I don’t know what does. ANYWAY. . .

It’s been quiet on The Skreened Blog. You may have noticed a HUGE relaunch of our site now upat skreened.com.

We’ve streamlined, and added some powerful new features, as well as new products. So go snoop around.

Irregular Times
Almost since our inception, Irregular Times has been one of our biggest, most vocal, most prolific, and most valuable partnerships. We’re also lucky that at least part of the irregular times team is located in biking distance of the Skreened office in Clintonville / Columbus, Ohio. We’re privileged that he’ll take a meeting with us to talk about, among other things, the new affiliate program we’ve begun rolling out (more on that later, suffice to say, more money for nothing-ish).

FANTASTIC!
A few of our friends are getting ready to tour in Iceland, so we’re getting their merch ready today as well. You can check out the FANTASTIC! brand of youth oriented electro-pop-rock.

Sugar Free
I like Giant Eagle Flavor Fusion drink mix packets. I know, they’re probably bad for me. But they’re good.

Hey everyone.

It’s been a while since i’ve put anything out in blog-land. I’m helping out some friends at paul robinett aromatherapy candles today. They all went out of town for the weekend, and I’m holding down the fort here.

So, there’s been a lot happening on skreened since I posted last. We launched the new site design and architecture, and have been adding a whole bunch of features since then. Some of them include, RSS feeds, OSX dashboard widget, the design-face-off and more.

There’s still a lot on the way too. We’re working on an online shirt designer to expand the options from just uploading a picture. But even before that, we’ve got better stats coming your way, and a new store administration interface.

Google is being really sweet to us to. Traffic to the site from search is up about 700% in the last few weeks. A lot of that is thanks to you sharing your store RSS feeds, and titling, describing and tagging your designs. The internet really does work!

As always, just send me an email if you need anything. daniel@skreened.com

Hey there,

Guess what I just added. . .  take a look at my store. It’s ugly isn’t it!? Well, now you can make your store ugly too. Just go to your store settings page under your account. You can make up all kinds of kooky stuff through any myspace editor. There’s a link to one i used on the account page.

enjoy. no more drab stores.
love,

hosts and all kinds of technical crap

So, after years of goodwill and free hosting from 1&1, I switched to dreamhost tonight for us.

Apparently 1&1 doesn’t cache sessions like dreamhost, or something, and it’s causing all sorts of chaos.

So i switched. and Mike is taking care of the details.

No matter. Skreened is up in it’s very first form. And we’ve got big plans to make it even better. (And fill in the stuff that’s supposed to work!)
