junkprints site beta


junkprints site beta, originally uploaded by junkprints.

These days I've been feeling really techie. Me and the interenets have a real "intense" relationship. I absolutely love browsing and all the wonderful stuff that exists on line, love designing sites but when it comes to building sites, that part drives me a bit bonkers and I tent to hire a programmer for the dirty code stuff.

I recently completed Temporary Gallery's site (with out a programmer) and like how it turned out so that inspired me to give dookyblog.com a facelift. I always intended dookyblog to be a stand alone site but out of I guess lazyness it ended up a blogger blog. I love google as much as the next person and was super happy when they aquired blogger because it made the whole interface alot easier to use, but like all good sweaters I out grew them and am in the beta staged of dookyblog.com still attempting to export my blogger blog to this one...worpress keeps telling me it should be easy but i beg to differ ;) It's not like I can have only one pot on the stove...so I've takin' on junkprints.com.

Here's the goal: To get a few items up and for sale direcly through junkprints.com, while directing customers to my whole line which is showcased on etsy.com. Don't worry etsy, I'm not leaving you...just expanding. I tries OScommerce and zen cart as cart applications, and I was able to modift the CSS info to get the 'store' looking okay...but not great and I kept having stange security problems so for now I've settled on 'buy now' options for each item. Until I cand find a snazzy PHP programmer who wants a but of buisness. In the mean time These are screen shots of the site so far. Let me know yer thought...and any programmers out there, let's be friends!
