Now that there is an online store the next thing is to get people to see it. And when they see it they should find it interesting and worthwhile. CafePress provides many details and templates so you can design your images in the correct proportions or adjust them to be right. But you don't have to do it. You can have a square image automatically plopped on every type of merchandise, even circular items. Or you can put a square image on a rectangular product with the result of some extra white space on one side.
These type things make for a terrible impression, thankfully customers see a very good representation of what it is they are purchasing. Well, that is my opinion. I have lots of opinions.
I organized my store with all the items I would like to sell with a particular image on one page, or in one section. Now I think it would have been better to show one item with many images on it on each page. So there may be a lot of reorganizing to be done. Oh, yes, the software does let you do those kind of things! Thankfully. But you need to be careful not to delete something by mistake.
One of the first images I put online is the oldest in my collection. See
www.ForeRiver Bridge.com . More on that shortly!

Check out these beauties! 
Spring is the perfect time to dust off the funny bone and add some humor to your world. How about the image of an old fisherman with the saying: "Don't Ask...Don't Smell..." Wear it if you dare--shirt! Check out our magnets, ceramincs, mugs, bags and other cool stuff, too!
Are you tired of beling pushed around at the BBQ or the kitchen or by life itself!! Here's the "Say it if you mean it apron!" We have more than aprons, too!
Here are some items created with the CafePress system: shirts, a wooden box with printed ceramic tile insert and great-looking cards. All these items use the bridge image and all are remarkably clear. People who have purchased the ceramic tile, either alone or on a box, always remark at the clarity of the imprint. These are just a few of the items available. If you look at www.ForeRiver Bridge.com . you will see plenty of other items with large, clear previews. If you know anyone from the south of Boston they wold love an image of this wonderful landmark which no longer stands.
Here she is! And what a story to tell. This little drawer bridge connected Quincy and Weymouth, Massachusetts from 1934 until it was replaced with a temporary bridge in 2004. Just beyond the bridge was the Fore River Shipyard which began in 1884 and grew to be the second-largest shipyard in the US. The "yard" constructed hundreds of ships from freighters and sailing ships to aircraft carriers and tankers. All passed under the open bridge, some with very little clearance. The location of the bridge—which itself had replaced an earlier bridge—on busy Route 3A south of Boston made it very well known to people headed to Nantasket or Cape Cod. Nearly every driver south of Boston has been detained for a bridge opening for an oil tanker or a tall sailboat! This picture was taken from the "Weymouth side" near the old Edison building — long a little park and fishing area but closed many years ago for removal of the old Edison building.
