I'm 41 going on 26. Twice as old as some of youWhen I was in my early 20's the concept of having a computer in one's home was a mind-blower! I was on the internet before it was called the internet, and I used real "floppy" disks - the 5&1/4" size that really were floppy A 240 megabyte hard drive was huge! There was no windows, the C:> prompt and typed commands were fun, because boy-o-boy were we smart that we knew those commands.

I would LOVE a little bit of sun! It has been sunny this week end and it is melting the 2 feet of snow we got a few weeks ago! Just a little bit more sun!

I like the idea of payment options, and customizing it....I think this is what I'm looking for ...... you say it's available via Xisto... would I look for Emporium or ecommerce scripting? guess I'd better get my request for hosting in.. so I can see what's here.Thanks much for the info, I do appreciate it!

"Hey!" all, Another bit of American slang to teach you (sorry Charlie D, you asked for it ..) This here fellow is what we call a Redneck. If you ever hear a Redneck joke y'all think of Charlie here.

OOPs sorry, but really, a topic like this can come and go because PEOPLE come and go. Some that answered before might be gone now, and others that weren't here before get to say HEY! Saying "HEY" is american slang for hello.

Well I don't have a "real" shop, the business is making the stuff in a spare room set up as the studio, and selling it to freinds, co-workers, and taking some around to local shops - we live near lots of gift shops. We do have the black velvet though, and picture taking has been a challenge because I've been trying to do this at night after my regular day-job, in poor light. Now it is the weekend, I'm going to try again in good daylight. Well I call it "basic" html becaue compared to the xml and scripts out there, wow. The site I did before looked a little less professional, but only because I had students working on it too, and it was student artwork and such that was the graphics. But it was clear it was a student/teacher effort, so when you know that, the less-than-perfect graphics are forgiven. So, you're saying, work in phases? Phase one, make it pretty, but not selling yet. Phase two, sell by sending checks or using their own paypal Phase three, incorporate a shopping cart ?? This is what you mean? Sounds manageable this way. What does <br> mean? (hahahaha just kidding) Right now <br> means BBRRRRRRRRR it's COLD and we're getting a bunch of SNOW tonight!

Oh yes, shortcuts like this I like alot. I don't intend to build the shopping cart and storefront from scratch. When I said I wanted to build the site myself, I just meant I don't want to hand over the whole project and have someone else put it all together. I'd be paying someone to customize those scripts, and still providing the photos and all that much of the work myself anyways. .................and I'm beginning to feel like I'm spending more time talking than doing I'll check out PHP-Nuke for sure, I'd heard of it but have not looked at it yet. Thanks!!

Thank you ! yes! this is what I'm saying! Encouraging and good advice. yes, I like basic html, with frames, I am comfortable with that. My challenge at the moment is taking pictures of jewelry. I have to catch daylight I guess for the digital camera. I like some of the ideas here for showing them, but I have some work to do there for sure. Thanks again, and keep warm - it is below ZERO here !!! BRRRRRRRRRRRR ------

Isn't that funny how self-concious we are about our voices. I would know alot more spanish if I werent' so worried about how it might come out - yet we don't seem to much notice how other people speak do we? They probably wouldn't much notice us either.

Hey, not too far at all! I go there for work on occasion (Parsippany) Ah the storm! It promises to be a good one. Snowed in on the weekend! We'll all be snuggled up warm near the [computer]. (rather have a fire!)

But surely the fairies exist! Say it's so! and so many with red hair and sparkly wings. Many many people believe in the fae, and that they, like the leprechauns, originated in your very own back yard They say fairies are the protectors, the spirit guides, of nature.

As I browse these forums, it's clear this is a very global group! It's very fun to read what languages people speak, and sometimes glimpse a clue of where you live.Where do you live? How many countries are here together in this corner of cyberspace?I am in the state of Connecticut, USA. It is north-east USA, and six degrees fahrenheit today (-14 C)

It's freezing cold winter here (north-eastern USA) - and I do mean freezing. My mind wanders south, toward the warm places. My next vacation I want to visit Mexico.If you could go anyplace on earth this year, where would you go? Why? What would you want to experience when you got there? What would you bring home with you?

I took Polish in high school, have a best friend who speaks French, spent a month in Costa Rica last year ..................and still speak only English.I would love to learn Spanish for future trips to Latin America, but I don't know where to start. Maybe I'll take a night class? Polish? What was I thinking?

Is there a way to search the forums? I am looking for threads within this forum about the game(s) The Sims, but don't know how to look for it and don't want to look through all the messages. I will, though, if there's not a search tool.I don't have Sims 2 yet, wanted to hear about it from others
