Online Store Progress

Still Working on the online store placing modules I want in place modifying features and taking care of things like getting shipping accounts.
I still have a nice little TODO list like
– Waiting for my two new phone lines to be put in that I ordered already fax and voice strictly for business like I had before. They will not be able to put them in until the end of the month, more time to play with the software for me I guess.
– Taking pictures of items I will be selling
– Getting some packaging that is inexpensive yet affective for some merchandise I already have
– Establishing and becoming familiar with some drop shipment methods of some places I will be dealing with
– Establishing categories and sub-categories on page
– Determining what mechanisms I want to track finances and how I want them extracted from MySQL database.
– Placing my SSL certificate in place that I now have for secure shipping
– Determining what type of merchant account I want.
– Integrating shipping modules (feature) I mentioned before.
This has been a fun learning experience and like anything else the more I edit, modify and add features to the shopping cart software I will be using which is called “OsCommerce” (open source of course) the more familiar I am with what files control which functions and where they are located.
I will soon be removing the Forsake blog or maybe keep that just for garage sale type items or just bring it back later for that if needed but I don’t think I will need that.
Anyway back to the editing.
