point your links to estrip
First thing first. If you have your own website or some other place where you post links, please make sure to point your links to estrip.org. The more people that points their links here, the faster we take over who ever estrip medical is in the google rankings.
bumper stickers
Okay, so here is the deal. Is it more important to have your URL in your bumper sticker or a small keyword people can type into google. If you go to google and type (e:strip) with the colon we come up right away so maybe that is best. Plus it adds the extra step of discovery for the people who type it in, making it a little more fun for them.
So which design should it be? My fav is the first one with the parathesis. Also if anyone know a local shop where we could get this done, I would much rather support local busines than order them on the internet.
Thank you to all the people who made generous donations to make this possible. A special thanks to (e:olemanrunin) who made the largest single donation we ever had at (e:strip).

I fixed the search and epoetry linksCategory: estrip
They now properly highlight the search terms in the journal they come from. Try out one of the epoetry poems by clicking on the epoetry tag on the top right of the site. When you click on any of the lines of the poem it takes you back to the original jorunal it came from with the text highlighted.
You can see it below, here is an example url

Dip it in blue cheeseCategory: estrip
I was telling (e:terry) about how I changed the title of estrip today after estrip.org came though and explaining to (e:twisted) about how Buffalo is the home of the original chicken wing, which led to the recording. It's really funny.
"google it" ? What kind of a crazy language is that?
"YST it"! or "Yahoo! it". That sounds much better...
The third one - the simplicity makes it look more elegant than the first two.
I definetely like the parenthesis better. It seems much better!
I say go with the first one. I like the "google it" option.
I think the parentheses version has too many "enclosures." I like the white border, so I wouldn't want to lose that. But I think it's too hard to "parse" the parentheses inside the border with the colon and the sideways text all at once on a passing vehicle. But maybe I'm just slow.
Of these three I like the arrow one too. The arrow makes "google it" an action. I can get that. But being outside the parentheses makes it seem like a tagline -- something to ignore. I do kind of like the concept of discovery -- I'm guessing most people will be expecting a stripper/porn site.
Even though the 3rd one is the closest to the real URL, it's unnecessarily off-putting. By the time you do a double-take -- is it a ":" or an "i"? Is that supposed to be a URL or something else? It can't be with the colon, right? By then you've lost their interest. Might as well just go with estrip.org for that version.
That's just my opinion, but you know I'll love it no matter what. ;-)
