Have to take a moment today to show my pride. My oldest son recently joined the Army National Guard, and will go out on his first drills tomorrow. John, your Mom and Dad are so very proud of you!

Continuing Design Education

website designI’ve been away awhile, busy on several projects. One of those has been an incredible learning experience for me in the form of eCommerce website solutions. I’ve been looking over the WP eCommerce Plugin for a few months now, and admittedly a bit hesitant to “take the plunge” and use it in a design. However, I quickly realized that when it comes to ease of use within a WordPress website, this would have to be the short answer! I’m so glad that I finally came to that conclusion!

New Store-KStyle StudiosWith the help and guidance of Trevor Holewinski (of PokerPlasm.com fame), I’ve completed my first WP eCommerce site using the plugin. Would you like to see the results? Visit KStyle Studios, and check it out! This plugin will allow owner Karen Simpson the ability to upload and add products in the future without having to contact her webmaster. She’ll also be able to make simple changes (such as price, description, etc.) on her own.

I recommend paying the $25 for the gold upgrade to the plugin…for such a small fee you gain an incredible amount of flexibility in your cart: Multiple images/product views, more Payment Gateway Options, product search capabilities, (product) grid view, ability to sell digital products, advanced shipping methods, cross-selling, a coupon system, and more! I have to say this is one of the best WP plugins I’ve ever downloaded!
