We’re now powered by WordPress instead of Weebly. Weebly was fun to play with, since it has a 100% WYSYWIG site builder that creates pages that generally don’t look too shabby. I was mostly interested in having a no-maintenance site, since most of my days are spent editing raw code. But times are changing, and WordPress has emerged as the de facto CMS and blogging platform, so I figured it’d be a better use of time to mess with it. I’d also noticed a Netcraft report that pegged Weebly with Bluehost as one of the top hosting companies for phishing sites, which is no good. Check out My IP Neighbors to see who you’re sharing an IP address with…you’d be surprised!
Now that I’ve been running several shopping carts and eBay storefronts for a few years, I’ve decided that it’s time to share some of my experiences so that other people can benefit from all time I’ve spent figuring out what works best. I’ve spent many hours banging my head against the wall with counter-intuitive systems, and a few hours basking in the glow of something that actually works as advertised.
I hope you can find something useful in my experience doing e-Commerce!
