Hello World, I’m working on cleaning up my domain list and I decided to use this domain as my central hub — I’ve decided to use my old domain for something else. As far as my other domains; either it’s online now, going online now, or it’s a goner! In the last six months I’ve gone from about eighty domain names down to hovering just around fifty with another handful still to go bye-bye for sure. I can’t believe how many domain names I found I’ve owned three or more years and not a thing had been put on them, wait “I’m the Procrastination Queen” so yes I can believe it!
Currently I’m focusing on stores sites. I normally prefer hand-coding but lately I’ve been trying out some shopping cart systems. Cube cart & Zen cart we’re both available via Fantastico so I tried both. The Cube cart was hacked right away, so I downloaded and manually installed the newest script version. That store is still online but currently closed since the supplier temporarily closed it’s drop shipping program. I just don’t want to order the minimums and get stuck with a lot of UN-selling merchandise (like I have in the past).
Zen cart was nothing special, actually off the top of my head I can’t even remember why I didn’t keep it. Then I came across OpenCart which has a multi-store feature all running off one central product database. I’m finding there’s a huge learning curve with the script setup/customization so it’s taking me way longer to even setup one store but I really do like many of it’s features and it’s open-source so free — wishlist, comparison shopping, and from what I understand it can take all those multiple stores and combine the checkouts.
And I didn’t know it till very recently but Open Cart can also be installed/updated via Fantastico!
