I'm not sure if this needs a more straightforward approach, which I have made and will post if people don't think this reads well, but its an idea i've been kicking around for a couple years actually and somehow just never got to it.]]></description>

I always loved this slogan, and I felt the first type treatment I tried was considerably lacking.  This is a bit less whimsical, but a lot more wearable (in my opinion).]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This is probably the first time I have ever been declined....I really dug this, but I suppose the text is too plain.<br />
<br />
What can I do to improve this?  Different text?  Different text placement?  Something more visual with no text?<br />
<br />

<br />
So I started working on a series of tees inspired by the imagery evoked by the look and flavors of various ice creams (red velvet cake was more inspired by the cake, but there is an ice cream).  Neapolitan is my favorite.  More coming if people like any of these.  I didn't want to do 20 and have people hate them all at once though.  <br />
<br />
I tried to work a bit outside my comfort zone with these.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<b>(scroll down for the short version)</b><br />
<br />
So I finally decided to start consolidating and streamlining my online presence.  As I originally started out I had no idea where my life and career would be going and every site had a different name/identity attached.  Tastypaints, ste7en, ste7enL (when ste7en was taken) steven lefcourt (thats my name, dont wear it out tee hee) and so on and so forth.  People can't even figure out how to pronounce &quot;ste7en&quot; so im transitioning everything to just my good ol regular Joe name.  My name isn't Joe though.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I launched a new website at <a href="http://www.stevenlefcourt.com/">www.stevenlefcourt.com</a> and knowing nothing about any kind of coding, haphazardly went about creating a custom look, but I want to make sure it's showing up/loading properly for people in different browsers and various resolutions.<br />
<br />
So please let me know if the site loads properly, and if you think it doesn't let me know what browser you're on, what your screen resolution is (the site isn't designed to be viewed at low resolutions but I did try to keep it relatively scalable).<br />
<br />
I still have a lot to add, including fleshing out various pages and adding additional ones, as well as creating a header/logo and finally adding some of my more popular and iconic designs (many of my threadless designs are still missing, as well as dozens of others for other companies and individuals).<br />
<br />
<b>tl;dr </b><br />
<br />
New website: <a href="http://www.stevenlefcourt.com/">www.stevenlefcourt.com</a><br />
Take a look, does it work?  Does it look ok?  Let me know what browser, platform (windows, mac, linux) and screen resolution you're using.<br />
<br />
<b>Upcoming Changes</b><br />
<br />
Reducing site width for lower resolutions<br />
Re-cropping thumbnails to be more interesting<br />
Adding Header/logo<br />
Filling out the individual pages with actual content<br />
Making the nav bar more interesting visually<br />
Discarding the lesser/weaker designs to tighten up the portfolio aspects of the site]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Way old design I stumbled upon while working on my brand new website (will post about that later, if anyone cares) and I decided to take it further and make it get ridiculous by the end.  Changed to black and white just for balance reasons that the color version created and I think its a bit more wearable this way...even if grid designs aren't nearly as popular these days<br />
