*This post is all admin, but at least you got to look at a pretty picture*

I’ve done a little bit of cleaning up to the site which should make it a bit easier to navigate and hopefully make it attractive to new readers visiting the wonderful world of HYA for the first time.

The archives are no longer listed on the sidebar as they were becoming too long, and can now be found on their own dedicated archives page. This page actually has more info on it, like the amount of posts in each category and amount of posts per month, so I think moving the archives to their own page should make things a lot easier for those of you wanting to delve into HYAs past.

Each post now has ‘related posts’ listed underneath them. I wonder if the posts related to this article are also boring admin stuff?

You may have noticed that the ancient “Should I write about coats” poll has gone. This doesn’t mean I’m never going to run another poll again, it just means that I don’t see much need in leaving up the previous poll for almost a year when you guys can’t even vote on it.

I’ve installed a plugin that allows me to gather data on which articles are the most popular (fun!), so I can see what you like and what you don’t like. The top 10 articles (based upon the plugins algorithm) can be found on the bottom of the sidebar. That placement might change in the near future because I don’t like the way it looks. Predictably, the most popular articles are my list based posts, like the tee blog lists, and the robot tees list.

You can now subscribe to comments by e-mail. I noticed that on a lot of other blogs there was an option for people to check a box when they left a comment which meant they would be sent an e-mail if anyone else left a comment on that blog post, and I thought that was a great idea since I’m always forgetting to check back to pages I’ve left comments on, so hopefully you’ll find this option useful in keeping conversations going in comment threads.

If there’s anything that you like or don’t like about the changes, or if there’s some kind of functionality that you think this site desperately needs, please get in touch or leave a comment and I’ll see what I can do.

I’ve done another update on the t-shirt blog list, and its now up to 155 blogs. I was hoping to accompany this post with a picture of HYA running on a new iPhone, but since it didn’t get delivered you’re being treated to a picture of the shiitake mushrooms that I’ve been growing for the past few weeks (but am afraid to crop because I know nothing about mushrooms).

Check out the list of 155 t-shirt blogs.

Just a quick note one this overcast and cloudy weekend that I’ve completed the latest updates to the tee blog list and it has now swollen like my belly after a visit to a hinese buffet and has reached a rather collossal 149 sites. I’ve also made it clearer which of the blogs are dead and which are extensions of t-shirt companies by putting [Dead] and/or [Corporate] next to their name.

Remember last year when I wrote an article called 65 t-shirt blogs, and I said that I didn’t think I would have found and written about all of them? Well, I was right, very right. I’ve managed to find 133 t-shirt blogs, and websites related to t-shirts that I think are of interest enough to be included in this list, and put together the second edition of the great big t-shirt blog list. The original 65 blogs are underneath the 71 latest editions and haven’t really been touched. With the new sites I’ve also included how frequently they’re updated so that you know whether you’re visiting a ghost ship of a blog before clicking through. Remember, this list isn’t in any kind of order, so if you write a tee blog and find yourself listed low down, don’t worry, that doesn’t mean anything, its just how I happened to write the list.

Any blogs that I’ve missed off the list and been notified about at a later date are going to be added right at the bottom of the list, at the moment there are 27 additions.

1. BLOKK
Update Frequency: A couple of times a week - active
Bio: Blokk is a Russian language blog, but they often let the pictures do the talking, so don’t let that language barrier stop you giving it a look.
Link

2. Crucial Headache [Dead]
Update Frequency: Couple of times a month - currently MIA for 1 month
Bio:This guy only writes about t-shirts he owns, usually vintage band ones, and whilst posts are relatively few and far between they are usually really long posts and quite a good read.
Link

3. Tee Blast [Dead]
Update Frequency:N/A
Bio: I’m sure this used to be a blog, but now just redirects to a parked domain page, it might pop back up in the future, who knows!
Link

4. T-Shirt Gumbo
Update Frequency: About four times a month - active
Bio: Not my particular cup of tea, but if you’re into ‘funny’ shirts then this could be the blog for you.
Link

5. Aaron’s T-Shirt Review
Update Frequency: About 3 times a month - variable but active
Bio: Almost all the links might be affiliate-based, but its still a pretty good read, and in a more traditional website format than a regular blog.
Link

6. Fat Seagull
Update Frequency:Daily - active
Bio: Very much an underrated blog from the UK, one of my favourites in the the t-shirt world, lots of great streetwear tees.

Link

9. T-Shirt Casserole
Update Frequency: About 4/5 times a month - active

Link

10. 辣椒网志
Update Frequency: 4/5 times a month - active
Bio: It’s all written in Chinese, so I can’t tell you if its a good read, but the author does pick good brands.
Link (Google translated to English)

11. You Design It - Blog [Corporate]
Update Frequency: Daily
Bio: Promotional blog for a custom printing company called You Design It.
Link

12. Thy Goodies [Dead]
Update Frequency: Two a month, with frequent breaks, no posts for last two months, dead?

Link

Update Frequency: Daily until going MIA two months ago
Bio: Mostly funny tee recommendations, with good commentary.

16. T Shirty.net
Update Frequency: Due to it’s nature, its quite hard to tell, but no new tees have been added since January - probably active

Link

17. T-Shirt Advocate

Bio: Slick looking blog with really quality posts and brands.
Link

18. Rumplo
Update Frequency: Lots of tees every day - very active
Bio: This isn’t a blog, but needs to be included in almost any t-shirt list. Rumplo is a place where people post cool tees and they get commented on and faved, its a young site but already popular so there are lots of tees to look at.
Link

Link

24. TShirt Review
Update Frequency: Every couple of days - active
Bio: This well-written blog that uncovers brands that you don’t see much of in the t-blogosphere. One thing that makes me uneasy about them is that you can pay them to review your company.
Link

25. Blog T-shirt [Dead]
Update Frequency: Irregular, MIA for a couple of months - possibly dead
Bio: This blog, which I think is written by someone for whom English isn’t their first language, seems to be for a guy to show off his t-shirt designs (which are available through Spreadshirt), but he seems to have given up just a few weeks into the project.
Link

26. The T-shirt Review
Update Frequency: Daily- active
Bio: Well written and well designed, what’s not to like!

27. Jay’s Van Tribe Blog [Corporate]

Bio: In what might be one of the most bizarre pairings I’ve ever come across, Thuderfrogs blogs about t-shirts and horse racing. Now that is a niche!

Link

31. Assault Apparel’s Blog [Corporate]
Update Frequency: Daily - active
Bio: This blog serves as promotion for Assault Apparel, but the writer also makes a lot of effort to help others making their way in the tee business by writing tutorials for designers and providing other valuable information.
Link

32. tshirtreviewblog.com
Update Frequency: It was frequent until going MIA a month ago, though the write did explain that they were sorry for the absence and hope to be back soon.
Bio: Well written blog that ticks all the boxes in my opinion, hopefully the writer will indeed be back soon.
Link

33. TV Teez [Dead]
Update Frequency: Irregular, possibly dead, only 3 posts written
Bio: I like the idea of a blog written about t-shirts that are about and from TV shows, but when you’ve written 3 posts in 3 months then things aren’t looking so good.

Link

38. Black T-shirt |Blog
Update Frequency: Almost daily - active
Bio: When I found a blog called ‘Black T-shirt blog’ I figured that all the tees would be black. Wrong! They like all the colours of the rainbow, and they also seem to like text tees too.
Link

39. Talk About T-shirts [Dead]
Update Frequency: Daily, then weekly, now MIA - presumably dead
Bio: Only four posts, so clearly the author got tired of the subject rather quickly, and didn’t really know what direction to take the blog in (startup guide? designer resource? product picks?)
Link

40. Tee vs Tee
Update Frequency: New tees frequently added
Bio: This site presents you with two tees, you pick your favourite of the two, and then you repeat the process. The best performing tees get onto a leaderboard. *Only the leaderboard is available at the moment, I’m not sure if the interactive part of the site is going to come back.

Bio: Another site which aims to rate and rank tees using user voting. Looks pretty slick, too.
Link

42. T-shirt Rank
Update Frequency: Dependent upon users - active
Bio: Another ranking site, this one uses a chart format, a tee gets voted for, it moves up the chart, voted down, and it moves down. It’s a pretty old school looking site with tees that I probably wouldn’t (they’re mostly ‘funny’ and offensive) wear.

Bio: I’m making myself look a bit stupid here, but I can’t decide if its in Spanish or Porutguese, I would presume its in Portuguese since its a Brazilian blog, but then it looks Spanish to me, so I can’t tell. Anyway, the blogger seems to write about items that aren’t on any other blogs, so its all a bit different to the usual.

I know I’ve already linked to another of my tee blogging brethren today, but since I haven’t got much time to dedicate to blogging this week it seems like a good idea to highlight other good work being done by tee bloggers.

Color Overload have written up a list of 10 bad ass stores that have their store powered by the Big Cartel service, we’ve taken a look at most of them on HYA in the past, but its worth a minute or two of your time. Check out the article here.

Kat, of T-shirts Around the Internet fame, has written a great post about Obama shirts on the ‘net that don’t suck, in fact, they’re the opposite of suck, they’re good!

One that she’s missing (perhaps on purpose) is ‘We Are the People We’ve Been Waiting For’ by Ban T-shirts that I reviewed back at the end of March/

I’ve mentioned on HYA before that I’m something of a fan of Justice, the rather excellent purveyors of electronic music. I’d noticed that there was a few tees around referencing them and their music, so I thought I’d whip together a post about them. A couple of these are from the infamous video for D.A.N.C.E, but I realise that there a lot more of the tees from that vid can be found on these Daily Tee and Tcritic posts.

1. Teelovers described the tee at the top of this post as the ultimate t-shirt for lovers of Justice. I like the idea of random people in the street not knowing who it is and just thinking you’ve got some weird guys face on your tee (hey, that might be a good idea for a line…). No link since I don’t have a clue where this one if from or if it can even be bought.

2. I think it’s cool that someone would like a song so much that they’d design a tee that references it, especially when the song in question has loads of tees in its video. Link
3. This tee is a totally unofficial homage to one of my favourite tees in the d.a.n.c.e video. I think it would look nice paired with a shirt. Link
4. This tee is also from the d.a.n.c.e video, and tickles the part of me that likes fake clothes, by which I mean t-shirts that aren’t meant to look like t-shirts (the fake tuxedo tee is probably the most famous example). If you go to The Kid America Club store, then put in your region, then click on t-shirts, and you’ll find this beast staring you in the face. I’d give you a link straight the the tee, but KAC are rather particular about how you reach it.
5. Ok, fair enough, this design is from the same collection as number 2, but why mess with something that works? For those of you that aren’t up on your Justice, this tee has the main lyrics to the breakout remix they did (Justice vs Simian - We Are Your Friends) for a radio remix contest that was so good it led to them signing to Ed Banger records, who they’ve been with since 2003. (to see this in yellow, and with more skin than you would have thought was necessary, go here) Link

I’ve been getting more and more into type/text tees at the moment, so the Rumplo team must have been reading my mind when they put together a blog post (that also went out in their newsletter) of 30 incredible type tees.

See the rest of them… here.

I know that there a few people who read HYA that want to start their own t-shirt lines (I’m one of them… eventually friends, eventually), so when I found this list on Emptees of website and MySpace designers that would probably be of help to those of you that know how to design a badass t-shirt, but don’t know the first thing when it comes to designing a website.

Big fat list of web designers at Emptees

After seeing rather a lot of sub-par t-shirt videos being posted to YouTube (and therefore my new baby, TeeBurst), I felt that I needed to raise my spirits by finding some videos that were actually worth a few minutes of your time.

1. Justice - D.A.N.C.E: I thought I’d kick off the list with one of my favourite French DJ duos of the moment, Justice, and their amazing music video for D.A.N.C.E which features loads of clever CGI’d tees. I’m amazed that no one has ever released these designs as I’m sure they’d be popular with more than just fans of Justice.
2. The Most T-shirts Ever Worn At Once: There are two videos on YouTube claiming to hold the record for most t-shirts ever worn, one posted by an American radio station, and this one posted by the Guinness Book of World Records… I know who I’m going with (that and the 155 tees to 244 tees discrepancy).
3. How To Fold A T-Shirt: I think this video is proof that I am so manly, I actually need to watch a video to teach me how to fold a shirt! In reality I actually watched it several times before nailing the technique completely, and it has turned into a great space saver for my ever-growing collection of t-shirts.
4. How to Screenprint T-Shirts by Make Magazine: There are lots of tutorials out there showing you how to make your own t-shirts, but Make’s video (with some help from Etsy) is a bit more professional than most out there.
5. How To Stencil Your Own T-Shirts: If you want to design your own tees but aren’t ready to take the leap into screenprinting, the Threadbanger crew have you well covered with this great instructional video about how to stencil your own t-shirts.
6. The human flipbook: Already HYA featured, but still worth another viewing. How this is promotion for a sandwich shop I don’t know, but it is cool!
Lip Dub - Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger from amandalynferri on Vimeo.
7. Connected Ventures Lip Dub: I’m stretching a bit with this one, but I couldn’t really have a list of videos without putting in a lip dub, could I? Here, the Connected Ventures crew (the people behind BustedTees and Defunker & some other non-tee related sites) lip dub to HarveyDanger’s “Flagpole Sitta,” and trust me, it’s awesome, and kinda makes me wish that I worked in a cool office.
8. Spreadshirt’s Hands Per Piece: A very, very cool video from the Spreadshirt team showing just how many people are involved with the production of a tee from Spreadshirt. Its reassuring to see how much effort goes into the creation of one of their garments, considering when people usually think of POD services they imagine them to be a rather soulless process.
9. T-Shirt Folding Machine: If #3 was too much effort for you then this t-shirt folding machine might be for you (providing you aren’t too lazy to make one). This is a pretty cool promo by All-Tribes too.
10. Origami T-Shirt: Here’s a video showing you how to make an origami t-shirt out of a £5 note. May I suggest that you try this with a regular piece of paper first?Do you know of any other cool t-shirt related videos? Post ‘em if you got ‘em.
