Joe,

Thanks for Joe's Store at CafePress.  Lots of fun ways to display
memorable quotes.

Would it be possible to offer packets of magnets/greeting
cards/postcards that contain one of each quote in addition to the
packets that contain only one quote?

Also, Joe, thanks a million for putting these things out there for us.
One small complaint though - where's the girl's clothing?  I've always
hated that you can only get sci-fi t-shirts and sweatshirts that are
made for men (thus, they are huge and baggy even in the small sizes -
I'm a small framed person).

CafePress can do baby doll tees, hoodies, spagetti tanks, and many
other products that fit women.  Any chance us female fans can get B5
products for us?  It would be another thing B5 can do first ... IIRC,
other shows have never (or rarely) made women's clothing available.
(*cough* Trek *cough*)

If not, I'll just suck it up and buy the guy stuff ... gotta get me a
Faith Manages shirt no matter what!

Thanks again Joe,
Meghan

I wouldn't mind a couple of women's tees, myself - I was disappointed not to 
see any there.

While we're on the subject, has anyone actually been able to get to the store 
via the URL "babylon5quotes.com"?  I haven't - at least, not on a Mac using 
Safari as my browser.  But since there's a direct link to The Joe Store on 
the scripts site (http://www.cafepress.com/thejoestore), it's not a huge 
issue.  But they _are_ advertising it as babylon5quotes.com in all their 
e-mails, so they might want to check on those cross-platform cross-browser 
compatability issues, if that's what's going on.

It's working okay for me with both Safari and Firefox on OS X v10.2.8.

Whatever was wrong was very short term, and it's been working fine now for 
some days.  I think it was on another thread where I'd mentioned it that I 
followed it up with this information - probably should have done it here, 
too.

BTW, a couple of small updates.

Appparently some of our Canadian brethren (and sisthern?  sistern?) to
the North have been hit with GST because Cafe Press isn't correctly
labeling their boxes.  So if folks up there want to hold off on their
orders on stuff for a bit (it might take a couple of weeks to
straighten this out), there's a way to carry over the discount for
y'all.

Also...we're tweaking some of the quote stuff to make it look spiffier,
so a few things will be coming off in a bit for a while as we make it
better.  Just FYI.

Would a B5 font (e.g. B5_____.TTF) be a possibility, or would that be
stepping on Warner Brothers toes?

We actually tried that -- and it's Serpentine Bold, btw -- but it's
actually hard to read on some things, like shirts, so a clearer font
was chosen.

This is what we're doing with the tweaking...adjusting some of the
colors and backgrounds to make them look stronger.
