Spreadshirt is becoming more of a challenge than I originally thought. The ability to modify the look of the page has proved difficult, and the help they provide seems limited. The sample code spreadshirt provides in their forums to create a left nav menu is horrible in my opinion. There seems to be some help out there on Forums but it is a pain in the ass to sort through.
I have decided to get a book on CSS to aid me in my goal to create a nice looking storefront. Once I learn to do this, I will get a dedicated domain name for the site and use their Iframe code to make the pages appear seemless.
Dont worry once I figure out how to do this, I will put tutorials and sample code in case you try to do this on your own.
Stay Tuned, hopefully it works out

Thanks for the comment Temple! It is great that you are out finding what people are saying about spreadshirt. I plan on starting a new store soon and will provide you with screenshots when I entered the code, but basically the page was broken. Once, I do it again I will be able to go into more detail. Until then it would be really cool if there was a tutorial or info on how to change the default category when you land on your page. For Example, what if I want the main page to display the most popular shirts instead of the newest ones. I know I can make different categories but how do I default the page to come to that category.
Thanks for Everything,
