Thumbnail image for Available advertising opportunities on HYA

As I mentioned last week the advertising here on HYA is now being handled by BuySellAds. I haven’t moved over every advertising space yet, but there are a couple of zones that have been moved over to the new platform and are now available for new advertisers to take the space. There are 3 spaces [...]

Thumbnail image for HYA goods in the wild! (and other fascinating stuff)

One of the things that I really get a kick out of is seeing people happy with the stuff from the HYA store that they have received, so I thought I’d show off the two latest images sent my way from happy customers. The headless lady at the top of this post is my buddy [...]

Thumbnail image for ShirtDeck is reborn!

You will probably remember last year when I told you about a new site that I was working on called ShirtDeck that would be a marketplace for secondhand and rare t-shirts. Well, that didn’t pan out, to be honest it was too big of a job for just me to accomplish to a point where [...]

A Special 5th Anniversary HYA Pin Badge

Thumbnail image for A Special 5th Anniversary HYA Pin Badge

I needed to restock on HYA badges recently after someone in Germany picked up three sets, which is fairly unusual, and whilst I was stocking up again anyway (all orders in the HYA store receive a free button, remember) I thought I’d whip up something quick to recognise that this is HYA 5th year of [...]

Thumbnail image for Hide Your Arms now on a dedicated server, should suck less

Over the past few weeks HYA has been struggling a bit to keep up with the pace and to perform to a standard I’m happen with. There were regular outages and the site was regularly at capacity, so what did I do? Stepped up and switched HYA over to a dedicated server which should hopefully [...]

Thumbnail image for Hide Your Arms posters are on sale!

I am very excited about this, I had a feeling that the 5th anniversary posters were going to look good, but when I opened up the box of prints last night after a bit of an epic day I couldn’t believe how much I liked them. I look at stuff on a computer screen every [...]

A HYA Hoodie Gif to give you a headache

Thumbnail image for A HYA Hoodie Gif to give you a headache

Quick update about the hoodies, I’m now sold out of medium sized pullovers, and have limited quantities available in all other sizes. That isn’t me trying to over-hype them, it’s just that I only did a limited run, so quantities were fairly limited to begin with. I know the posters are running later than you’d [...]

I would like to thank you loyal HYA fans by offering you a coupon code for the HYA store, as I know most of you are American, and that the exchange rate is making it a bit of a tough ask for you to buy. However, I’d also like there to be more of you [...]

What the hell just happened?

Thumbnail image for What the hell just happened?

If you visited HYA over the past 18 or so hours you may have noticed that things weren’t quite as they should have been. Some dastardly hackers injected malicious code into my advertising software. In my experience using Firefox and Google Chrome warnings came up telling you that the site was dangerous, in Internet Explorer [...]

HYA hoodies have arrived.

Thumbnail image for HYA hoodies have arrived.

This blog post is both awesome and terrible. Awesome because in that picture there is a Hide Your Arms hoodie (yeah!), and terrible because I’m letting you know that I’ve got to take a few days off from blogging and HYA stuff because I’m on driving missions for my parent’s business. I’ve already driven 1500 [...]

Ignore the dirt on my desk, look at the sticker, now nice is that!? I’d been wanting to get stickers made up as soon as I saw the logo more than a year ago, and I finally bit the bullet and sorted the artwork (with a little help as my Twitter followers will know), and [...]

Thumbnail image for Hide Your Arms is releasing a hoodie, pick the design!

As some of you on Facebook and Twitter will well be aware, I’m going to be releasing a Hide Your Arms hoodie soon, but as you will be the people buying it, I thought I’d let you help me decide which design to release. I know which design I’m leaning towards, but if there is [...]

Happy 5th birthday, Hide Your Arms!

Thumbnail image for Happy 5th birthday, Hide Your Arms!

I realise that Hide Your Arms turning five years old doesn’t really mean an awful lot to anyone other than me, but I think it’s cool that I’ve run a website pretty much continually (I think the longest break was a month back in 2009 when I was touring LA-Vegas-Death Valley-Yosemite-San Francisco-LA), make new friends, [...]

I haven’t done a post like this in a little while, and as we’re at the beginning of a big week on HYA (5 year anniversary!) I thought I’d remind you of the many ways that you can get your fix of HYA goodness. Something I’ve been wondering about recently is why the site doesn’t [...]

You may remember me mentioning the voting for the Everyguyed Network’s ‘Cravat’ awards for several blogging categories, of which HYA was nominated for best t-shirt blog of 2010. Well, I won, with 42% of the vote in the category. It’s awfully nice to win something, though I must admit that the award does ring a [...]

We’re getting pretty close to Christmas now, so I thought it was about time I spread some festive cheer in the only way I know how, by giving away a t-shirt whilst gaining more followers for my Twitter account, it’s like a modern day Dickensian tale! Almost 2,000 people follow @hideyourarms already, who are clearly [...]

The building above is being worked on/built by the company I work for, and it needs to be finished by the end of the week, so HYA is going to have to take a back seat for a little while, but I wanted to let you guys know I didn’t just abandon ship. In the [...]

That’s it, I’m out, enjoy your weekend!

November 27, 2010

Okay, I think I’ve written enough posts for one week. I haven’t covered all the sales out there, but I’m a bit bored of writing about sales now. If some big ones come in over the weekend I’ll let you know (personally, the $5 tees at Threadless have been keeping me busy), and hopefully after [...]

I couldn’t go through all these Black Friday posts without getting in on the action myself, so I’ve put the HYA tee on sale at 50% off for £5 from now until Monday evening, let’s call it midnight GMT, though I’ll probably forget so you’re safe until Tuesday morning. I’m running pretty low on sizes, [...]

Thumbnail image for How Black Friday is going down on HYA

I’ve gone back and forth in my head about how to deal with the astounding amount of deals that are flying around the tee-world for Black Friday, whether I should make one massive post or lots of individual posts, and I’ve finally settled on lots of individual posts. I think that there are so many [...]
