Amazon Kindle T-Shirt Competition – Zazzle Problems and Instructions

Filed under: Announcements,General — Marcus Tettmar @ 2:19 pm

As you probably know, we’re running a T-Shirt design contest where you could win an Amazon Kindle worth $259.

Some people have had problems sending us a link to their T-Shirt design so I checked it out and found that the process for getting a public link to your shirt is not particularly obvious. So I thought I’d post instructions for the easiest way to do it:

  • Customize the design. Click here to view the T-shirt and then click the Customize button.
  • When you’re done click on “Email” which is beneath the right-hand box, underneath the Add to Cart section.
  • You’ll be prompted to log in or create an account (just a username and email address is required).
  • You’ll then be presented with an email form. Enter your email address as both the sender and recipient so that you can send your design to yourself. If you like add [email protected] to the To list, so that we also get a copy.
  • Make a cup of coffee.
  • Check your email, grab the link and go paste it in a comment here.

If you’ve already created a design, do not fear, it is not lost. Log into Zazzle (click on My Account at top right). Click on the “Products” tab. On the left under “My Products” you will see “In Progress”, “Private” and “Public”. Your T-Shirt will be under one of these – probably the “In Progress” one. Click on it and then do the Email thing as in the above instructions.

I hope that clears up any confusion. It’s worth the effort – you could win a $259 Kindle!
