Here, do me a favor River Rat...just send me some of your brain cells, k? Are you kidding me, not an expert? Umm...yeah, I've seen your web site woman! This coming May will be a year for me in selling online. The first time I did HTML on an ebay listing, I was so frustrated I had a friend go in there and fix the messes I made. And that was just fonts. *L* I've been looking at TT's web site info. That's who I want to go with. (Thanks Chiquita!) Looks like I'd be a fool not to. But first I have to find a wholesaler for what I want to sell. I already sell from 2 different companies, but neither are at wholesale prices. So when I do a web site with TT, I still have to get a shopping cart seperate, right? And if so, is it hard to install? Thanks! [/quote] Take my word for it ORUS, you don't want my brain cells!! :blinkie: Most of them got burnt out at a Jethro Tull concert back in '76...or was it '77 I had a friend who would email me the html code. Now I'm trying to help her set up a Zen Cart and she cusses me everyday for talking her into getting one. I think when you get hosting with TT, they will install a cart for you. Then you get the fun part of customizing it.
Never argue with an idiot they drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.

*Hmmm...wondering if we were at the same concert* *lol*
I am an impatient person, but I can't move forward until I find a wholesaler. *UGH*! I want to find one...NOW! *lol* This is when I wish I were a talented person to make my own things. But I'm not. The few arts & crafts things I've tried...well...let's just say a 5 year old has done better. We made things together, so I know this for a fact. Hers came out wayyy better than mine! *lmao* Ok...back to looking up wholesalers.... |

[/quote] I did the same thing with one of the free templates. I looked for one that had the general layout I wanted and had the bettercategoriesEZ mod. The is the one I started with: End of Summer The main things I tweaked were the colors, the width and changed out those logos for my own.

[/quote] Easy my foot. It has taken me two days just to change the logo, mess with some colors, and now I have two photos with the same name and one will not delete in the template image folder. :blinkie: Part of the template background is now blue. It also doesn't help that I have had 3 hours sleep. Actually Zen Cart is quite a learning curve for me due to lack of knowledge with CSS. I am getting intimately familiar with my file manager. I am spending more time with the file manager than my family. I really do like zen cart though. |

Good news the blue background is now purple, just like it should be. Thank You TT for being such a great hosting company. BBH thanks again so much for the install, and your support.

In other words...nobody around here was suitably impressed, so I want you guys to look at what I did today. My New Photo Gallery Make sure you click on the pictures. I know it's just a very basic script that I found HERE and it was easy to do, but I'm thrilled with the way it turned out!
