Interesting time today working with installing shopping carts. I had a tough time with the WordPress ecommerce plugin since it didn’t seem to want to allow me to edit products without blanking out the screen. It was kinda frustrating, to tell the truth. I think the resolution is probably not that dramatic, but after searching for an hour or so on how to fix it I threw in the towel and went for another option instead.
I chose the WordPress Paypal Shopping cart instead, and so far it seems to work just how I was hoping. The significant customizations options of the ecommerce site were really appealing with regard to shipping and calculating tax, etc., but it just kept giving me errors. And obviously that won’t work. Oh, well.
Tomorrow I’ll be learning about adding the shopping cart functions to the NextGen Gallery. It’s a cool feature that enables you to build a grid pattern of your products, along with a slide show of larger images, and connect each product to an “add to cart” button. Pretty cool. I’ll be loading it into an “In Stock” page tomorrow, so we’ll see how it goes.
Hope you’re finding your resolutions and getting your sites to obey, sit and roll over. 
Ha ha!
We all know it’s a partnership, right? A partnership with code, that is…
