It seems that the grand opening of the new store was not as much of a success as my client and I had hoped for. The store made money but the product being sold is priced very low in hopes of multiple sales per visitor. But folks who bought bought one thing instead of several at a time.

Working like a dog.
And I smell like one too. I need a shower,bad.
I’ve been working non stop, setting up a client’s members site and a digital download store using zen cart and my brain. He wants to open the store officially today but we have been stressed because he is taking the big leap into selling downloads by himself rather than relying on another website to sell them for him. They take 40% of what he makes but everyone who wants his content knows about this middleman type of site-so the loss may be substantial or it might be none at all.We won’t know until the end of the weekend after he’s gone to his forum and told everyone about his store–which he will do tonight, I think.
Paypal has ok’d the use of their services because the store and website has no “full frontal nudity or sexual activity or underage kids” or other things that are too bad to mention. I checked with Paypal’s Appropriate Use people to make sure.
But eventually I hope to get a SSL and convince my client to spend a little $$ for a payment gateway because you’ve got to spend money to make money(I love that saying and it’s really true)
Most beautiful site I’ve seen (today)
Sam over at SpuriousInk wants us to visit Vertexity and check out the free icons but I got distracted by how nice looking the site is.
And Spurious Ink is awesome- artwork by Sam.
Bloggers: a world unto themselves?
What’s more dangerous than unknowingly pissing off a stranger? Pissing of a blogging stranger! Except a real life blood and guts stranger can hit you.
Here I am just keeping my head above water in my chaotic life and I’ve also got to think about whether or not I am adhering to some kind of blogger’s code? Yes. Because I do have a blog (I need to practice my typing) so I have to be mindful.
I’ve seen and skimmed many articles and forum posts about the no follow thingy.Whatsit? It’s not clothes, makeup or free php code so I confess I moved on,eyes glazed.
But my blog has probably been slapped by Google or whateveitis that runs the world because I never bothered to bother with fixing the rel=external nofollow thing that WP shoves into it’s comments stuff.
Just now I found this article by Perishable Press explaining very clearly how to remove this badness without the need for a plugin.
So I guess now I do follow.
And guys: I never meant to be so cold.
Love me again?
