I'm pretty sure that everyone should be viewing my website from my new host servers by now and although I have a little issue to think about, my new Threadless flash thingymajig is up on the right hand side. The main problem is that I have to grab the jpg from the rss feed which is a photo of people modelling the shirts, I can't however guarantee the position of the person in the photo and since I am displaying it quite small I have to zoom in slightly in order for the design to be visible. In some cases this means all you will see is somebody's arm etc. not ideal.

So what do I do? Well I could wait until I have Flash 8 and then dynamically load the gif of the T Shirt design instead, this might mean I have to process the image first to reduce the size though as they are quite large. The other thing I could do is use the photo at a larger size but that means altering the design of my weblog to fit it in. I could maybe scroll sideways instead of zooming in...? Finally I could just not worry about it.
