Bryan Kite site
So a majority of my weekend was spent working on my web business items, updating and fixing them such as ArtFire. Working on my ArtFire webstore made me realize I really need to start exploring what I can have my blog become beyond the blog. The wordpress format that can be run off your own database open a world of opportunities for having a pretty dynamic website, and once I started exploring it I am wondering what to do with Dreamweaver. I found a Plug-IN that makes having a commerce store that works like ArtFire or Etsy super easy and there is a free one (e-commerce) or you can upgrade for $25 or the full full one for a total of $40. I have not upgraded yet because there is one other one out there for a $55 price tag that one guy said was much better. That one guy might work for the company and so I need to research before I pay for anything.
Anyways, for those whoo have been to my site before I hope you like the changes because I had to take a starting theme Prosumer made by Nurudin Jauhari which I really like his starting theme , but insted of the content being surrounded by a column on each side. I wanted the content to be bumped to the left with a two column structure next to it. This wasn't really a big necessity for the blog or about pages, but the store page and its parts it was hard to focus on the product. I am no pro at CSS because I haven't messed with it enough or had the need to do much with it until now. With the plug in for mozilla Firebug it became much easier to understand the calls and how Nurudin wrote his perimeters. There were many issues such as designing a custom template to have it now load for any reason, than after a million searches just happen to stuble upon a little blog about a bug in WordPress 2.7 templates. You need to load or activate another theme and than go back to the theme you were workign with and the templates will show up in you page attributes section. If you have this problem slow down,let the new theme sit for at least a minute than reload the original theme and let that sit for a minute, and than go ahead and change your page attribute template.
I do hope you enjoy my hardwork and come back often for updates that will be arriving in the stores, and to see my ratings and findings about commerce plug ins. If you see where I can impprove things for you visually please just chime in and leave a comment to me, I however do not need any Viagra at this time than you spammers.
