Skribble,
Well I had a play around and Im getting there....slowly!

I really need to get this site up and running by January.Can you talk me through the paypal bit and have you upgraded?
I need to add loads more piccies but I am at full capacity on the free uploads that I can do. If I delete images then when I am using the pop up I loose the full size image. I am reducing the size of my piccies by using Picasa2 and making them 380 pixels...do I need to do that?
Complete novice and DH is hopless when it comes to the comp....unless its some crazy mind boogling game like The God Tower
Skribble....will you help me????Please...Oh pretty please

Skribble · 09/11/2005 12:07

If you are up yet I am going to have a look and see hoe your site is getting on.

jayzmummy · 09/11/2005 14:02

I was up at the crack of dawn and working on it again!!!!
I cant work out how to add the shopping cart to my site but have now added an order form.
I need someone to read through it and tell me where all the mistakes are
Im sitting here with the dictonary perched on my knee and it giving me a bloomin headache!
Its starting to look loads better...well I think it is
what do you think??

AuntyQuated · 09/11/2005 14:06

i've been looking for you.

Skribble · 09/11/2005 14:10

You really have to upgrade with moonfruit to get a shopping basket. Unless you are a wizz with HTML code, I haven't figured out how to add it or even if you can, must consult the moonfruit forum. Meant to say you will be limited with pictures on the free option.

I wouldn't worry about a shopping basket an order form is fine, just put the link button on each page. I will have a proper read through, I got someone to check mine but I have changed so much i have probably got loads of mistakes again. Feel free to check mine too my spelling is shocking. I get carried away at 2am and forget to read it through in the morning.

AuntyQuated · 09/11/2005 14:11

have sent you a yahoo mesg but am off out now

Skribble · 09/11/2005 14:14

gaurenteed on the orcer form page.

I would make the first box on the form bigger and perhaps put Cards required and codes,
add boxes for colours required, personalisation.

jayzmummy · 09/11/2005 14:14

Bum...missed you cus I forgot to turn it on.....again!!!
TTUL AQxx

Skribble · 09/11/2005 14:15

I would also add an enquiry form so people can ask about things without having to open up their e.mail or use the order form.

jayzmummy · 09/11/2005 14:15

Thanks Skribble.....back into the site I go....my head is pounding!!!!

Skribble · 09/11/2005 14:17

Chill for a while . I have just realised it is now 2:15 and i have been farting about all day and still not ordered what I intended to do 5hrs ago. Did you get the e.mails.

UCM · 09/11/2005 14:31

I have just unpublished mine, as I realised that everybody can see just about every thing there is about me. I need to take some of the personal details such as address & phone no. off. Silly thing is I forget that what goes on in Arts & Crafts is also published everywhere else. Are any of you going to add phone no. & address on yours.

UCM · 09/11/2005 14:32

Fab sites by the way girls.

jayzmummy · 09/11/2005 14:56

Skribble....Ive just messed around with the home page....changed the font colour and added a couple of frames. Ive put a "contact us" page on the menu and am just about to do the links to the order form....if I can work out how???

Im already verified with paypal...so re the email...do I need to do that again??? I found the add to carts and single purchase buttons but think I need the widgett to make them work??? Whats a widgett??? Thought that was what was in the bottom of draught cans!!!!!
Thanks for your help....you are a star.

jayzmummy · 09/11/2005 14:58

sorry UCM....I peeped at your site...it looks lovely...Im not adding my address or phone number...instead Im following Skribbles advice and adding a contact us page and an order form....that way I can control my personal details being available to all Tom, Dick and Harry's IYKWIM

Skribble · 09/11/2005 17:42

The widgets from moonfruit won't work unless you upgrade. The ones on paypal are in HTML.

Skribble · 09/11/2005 17:43

Had a look and the green really works well for the text.

Skribble · 09/11/2005 17:50

Should it be inquires or enquires, neither look right now, my spell check said inquires.

UCM · 09/11/2005 18:11

definitely. There is a bit where I can put an order form in. Thanks for the advice.

jayzmummy · 09/11/2005 18:21

Ummmm wasnt sure about enquiries or inquires....might just change it to "wanna ask me anything"!!!!!

Skribble · 09/11/2005 20:15

Or waht about "Whit you waanten?"

kiwibelle · 09/11/2005 21:10

gee, I don't even know! I did a search at dictionary.com and it says that 'enquire' is a variant of inquire.

Maybe it's inquire:

  1. To seek information by asking a question: inquired about prices.
  2. To make an inquiry or investigation: inquire into the extent of the corruption.

I like your site JM. It's looking very professional. Skribble... I know it would be dangerous to let my dd in your store - virtual or not! Your range of sweets are fab!!

Skribble · 09/11/2005 22:48

Thanks Kiwibell not got all the range on yet, it takes me so long to photograph them then I have to clear the table for dinner. You should see the lighting contraption i have to rig up . I have little foil covered santa and snowmen that I really must photograph as they look great and the candy canes.

I did one christmas fair where the kids ended up fighting over the last of the sticky splats.
