My Vote For Best T-Shirt Blog 

OK - I have a few favorites but this is one of the best.

This is basically the only t-shirt blog I read on a regular basis.

Besides the fact that it is well written and the blog itself is set up nicely, it can also be subscribed to. Every morning I get a nice short email with pics of new shirts from companies all over the world.

Cool to see a shirt lens that's not just about pushing a store. That's what I'm trying to do with the one for our shop, but it still feels really commercial no matter what I do.

I think I just need more normal people to visit it. Any suggestions? My lense is at squidoo.com/weprintshirts4less.

Rock on!

About T-Shirts

I started printing t-shirts in the late seventies and just can't seem to stop.


I'm still in the industry nearly thirty years later.


Smiling Ogre was a nickname that sales people called me back then because I spent so much time leaning over screen print presses. Being more interested in getting the work done than having small talk with them, I would just look up, smile, and get back to work.


One of the things that I love about the t-shirt business is that just about anyone can become a t-shirt entrepreneur if they have the will and the determination. Traditional methods of marketing work well yet the internet offers new and innovative opportunities. There are all sorts of new ways to market your custom t-shirts these days.


This Squidoo Lense is are about the t-shirt industry and is intended to appeal to everybody, including consumers, screen printers, t-shirt entrepreneurs as well as t-shirt manufacturers. Anybody that wears a t-shirt.


I hope you find this lense enjoyable & educational.
