I hit a brick wall with Zen Cart today. Fellow writer Eric James Stone develops web sites for his day job. We were on the phone discussing the Zen Cart install that I had going and discovered it to be very cumbersome to set a file up for download. While I’m not completely decided on removing the zen Cart install, I am going to give some serious consideration to another alternative he suggested that uses a WordPress plugin.
While I like poking around in html and I’m comfortable in it for my home page, there are a few things I’d like to do with the web site that I haven’t done yet. One of those is incorporating this blog into the web site itself rather than making people go to Blogger to find it. WordPress makes that easy, but I think blogger can be embedded into my home page as well. Research time.
On the other hand, I haven’t really found a WordPress web site that I am all gaga over. So, I have a few alternatives. Move completely to WordPress, move the store only to WordPress, or migrate gradually. I think I’ll sleep on it and ponder the problem more tomorrow.
On the other hand, I did generate my very first e-format short story as a pdf file. That’s the first step. I know there are other formats, but I think it looks pretty good. Here is the cover image.
