New Caddyinfo.com hats / Queensboro.com / Models needed

Queensboro.com does a great job with custom embroidered hats. I ordered another lot of hats, updated to the new embroidery lettering. The change to the lettering cost me $9.99, which I felt was quite reasonable since it took the technician time to reset. [FTC disclosure: I paid for the hats and changes and shipping to me. Queensboro only provided great service and customer satisfaction.]

Great model, poor camera work (flash washout). Hats are darker than shown.

We had a few of the hats spoken for as pre-orders, so I sent those out for free, with free shipping.  Good to get your name in early on pre-orders, because they do ship for free some times.  Also tucked some website cards and post cards in the mailed boxes.

Hopefully some of the recipients will send back images of them wearing the hat (with better photographic work).

The hats are actually a dark navy blue, with Red thread for “CaddyInfo.com” and Yellow thread for “Information & Discussion”.  They are quite striking in person.

This image is more illustrative of the hat color:

You can order a Caddyinfo.com “new” design hat here:


The Caddyinfo.com Hats are US$11 each plus $5 Shipping in the US, for a total of US$16.
The hats ship USPS Priority Mail (2nd day delivery).  Contact me here or on Facebook or Twitter if you need international shipping and we can figure something out.

Still want to re-issue my call for Hat Models.

Theme updates

Made a few minor updates to the blog theme here at Caddyinfo.com, which is to say the appearance.

Now the top (header) has a brown leather texture instead of plain brown coloring. Hopefully this is reminiscent of the leather used in Cadillacs.
The buttons along the blog now have a touch of wood instead of none, and coloring has changed. I try to use wood touches throughout Caddyinfo.com in the same way that wood touches are used in Cadillac automobiles.
Coloring on the text in the header matches the rest of the page.
Light wood paneling added to the background instead of a solid color background.
Improved framing for the header.
Previously I had changed the upper right photo; I think it may change now and then.

Previous (old) Look

I am open to more changes, so if you see things that are not as elegant as they should be please feel free to share. I think it is not quite where I want it, but I am still sidling up to what the next changes should be. I also look for opportunities to tie themes across the website and forum as well as here on the blog.

My personal tilt is to analysis much more than art, (function over form), so if you have a good eye for this sort of thing let me know your ideas. I am keen to keep the same overall theme, but looking for more visual customizations or changes that would suggest Cadillacs, luxury, performance.

UPDATE: was aghast to see the blog was not spacing properly under IE6, although it did space properly under IE8 and Firefox.  Updated some picture widths and now it all flows properly under IE6 as well.  Dropped the book embed from google as it was taking forever to d/l.
