Stick the text at the bottom (Request A Shop | See More Designs) in either the left or right columns, you have plenty of space. It does look much better now that the few look I had taken.

Yiou might want to change the css for multiMenu to make it fit your sites more. Taking the color palette from the logo.

Cheers.

Hey, I just added the official XOOPs store - I didn't even know there was a store. Check it out.

I refined things some more - next page now shows at the top and bottom - when I tried to right align it, it went too far to the right. It's left aligned with the thumbnails and not with the full page because it applies to the thumbnails.

Let me know what you think with the new headers and with putting the next page/prior page at the top and bottom.

We've also doubled our selection of shops. We're up to over 4500 shops (thus well over 100,000 things to buy) and growing each day.

And the official XOOPs site has quickly become our most popular.

We've added some new navigation features - let me know what you think of the change.

we've updated our site to make the integration with cafepress more seamless. The goal was to make it so you never leave our site.

we've added more enhancements - primarily, support for other affiliates. Instead of mixing them in with the main content, we've separated them, and set it up so the affiliate links that display are fairly context sensitive. Thus if you are on the video game page

http://www.cafeshopper.com/modules/cafeshopper/index.php?id=294&sort=0&max=50

you get a mostly different set of ads than you would see in the father's day section

http://www.cafeshopper.com/modules/cafeshopper/index.php?id=21&sort=0&max=50

or the wedding seciton

http://www.cafeshopper.com/modules/cafeshopper/index.php?id=52&sort=0&max=50

My goal is to make the ads complementary to the area the user browses to. If someone is looking for a father's day shirt, they might also want to buy a father's day present. Does my implementation look complementary to the primary content without detracting?

I also set up a page that shows all of the affiliate ads. I set it up for myself, but am debating if I should put up a link to it or not.

it still needs work and needs to load a lot faster, but I'm setting up an experimental alternate view here

http://www.cafeshopper.com/modules/cafeshopper/million.php

compare that to our standard view

http://www.cafeshopper.com/modules/cafeshopper/index.php

what do you think about the difference? Assuming I speed it up, which is better?

The idea comes from this

I miss the white background. It made the products' colors stand out more.

you think so? I thought it make the site look cleaner when I added the white yellow background. I do need to make it white inside the frames when the images don't fill the frame, though.

Did you notice that the frames can change - the birthday pages use a different frame.
