Site Updates

Importfest is coming up on it's 10 year anniversary and the organizers have asked to be a part of making this years one to remember. New for this years event, which takes place September 11th 2010 at the Metro Toronto Convention center, are 10 new trophy classes including 'Baddest Stance' which they kindly given me the opportunity to help judge. Check out the full post for more info on the new categories and to find who who's this years Miss Importfest.

Thanks to Mat at Seche Media the store is now re stocked. In the 'new font' url stickers I have 3 yellow, 3 purple, and 10 white stickers in stock as well as some stock in pink, green, gold, and gunmetal from the previous font. I am also introducing 5 two tone Pink/removable white 'I like em dropped' stickers. Click through to see some photos of the new product!

Quick little post today. I have redesigned the basic url stickers a little thicker so that they stand out a bit more as the original ones were a little thin and just need to ask you guys what colors you want to see them in. Go wild and the most popular colors here and on facebook will be produced. Sick.

With the introduction of a new batch of stickers, combined with the demand of the old ones, I felt the need to open up a simple Big Cartel store to help me keep on top of sending out orders. The latest batch of designs is a fairly limited initial trial run but once they sell out I will restock at higher numbers with a variety of colors.

Or should I say Happy Holidays? I've never been too polictally correct, but I am going to assume that none of my readers are too uptight about which vernacular I use ;). Today's a day to be spent with family and friends enjoying the spirit of the season so I hope everyone is doing just that. To those of you who have found the time to stop by here today leave a comment and I will send you a free set of S.I.E. url stickers of your choosing. Happy Holidays!

As most of you know I did the first free run of 50 stickers not too long ago and the demand for them was much higher than I expected. When I got the first batch done I figured that 40 would go locally and 10 world wide but I couldn't have been more wrong. Most of the stickers went outside of Canada and into the United States, and one set even went to New Zealand. As I've probably said before it's an awesome feeling knowing that people all over the world are down with this blog and want to help represent it, here are some photos of people doing just that all around the world.

My stickers courtesy of Seche Media arrived last week after the first set got abducted by the mail man (if you see a mail truck rocking a stanceiseverything.com sticker that's how it happened) and I'm really excited to finally have these in my hand. This blog is one of the only ideas I have had over the past few years that I have followed through so the fact that I showed enough follow through to get stickers printed and that people want to run them just makes me want to put more and more work into the blog it's a rad feeling. But enough about me sticker vital info inside.

I am sure some of you have noticed that the site has been crawling lately. The home page can take up to 14 seconds to load and sometimes the admin page takes 43 seconds. Lame and annoying. Therefore on August 15th between between 8-12pm Eastern Daylight time I am going to try a few different ways to increase the performance of the site. Hopefully after that the site is back up to snuff. If not time to work on version 2.0

Hey everyone, just a heads up if you notice some weirdness on the page today its because I am trying to diagnose and fix some speed issues (14 seconds to load wtf?). Trying to get this page down to a 7 sec 1/4 mile so sorry if there is any temporary fires, shouldn't be too long and I will update this post when everything is fixed up. Update: Cut load times in half, back to the show.
