WHOA!!!

That's some site redesign!

I had a difficult time locating the tartan, finally found just a wee bit. Is that enough tartan to qualify to be an example?.

Kudos to you, sir, for being a good sport about it. I had someone steal one of my personal photos once, and use it for selling a similar item on the internet. Granted, that was for their profit and not a charitable/nonprofit venture, but it infuriated me.

I just hope it doesn't turn around on you, where people accuse you of being the one who 'borrowed' their images and thus staining your reputation. Do you think the STA would be willing to give you recognition for the pics? Perhaps with a small caption saying "courtesy of Keltoi Gaelic Clothing"?

I've noticed a lot of other vendors putting watermarks on their images for this very reason. That's not a bad idea.

Yes...

Yes, it is! (Now, where's that drooling smilie with the tongue hanging out?)

I like the way they've laid out the site. A lot of information and simple to find.

I also like that they've added the modern photos to the old drawings, and I agree with ThnBlueLine's thoughts on them.

I do like the improvements to the site. I found the member's area to be easier to use.

Did anyone notice the new tartan ferret and how it shows you the tartan on a kilt, a couch, pants and a skirt? It magically changes with each tartan you select. Pretty cool feature for anyone wandering what the tartan looks like in an article of clothing.

Caution this is computer generated and may or may not look exactly like the images if you choose to get one of the items in tartan. As I do not believe they factor in the size of the sett etc...
