The Store is open!

[admin]

Welp, I'm pleased to report the store is now open for business.

A few sections still need to be completed, but most of it is up and running.
Whew, that was a slow and tedious job. :snail:

Whatever happens, I'm glad it's done (well, almost).
Please let me know if the pages are slow to load or if there are any navigational glitches that need attention.
Thanks.

Oh, by the way, everyone who enters the store will receive a free screensaver, compliments of Innertraveler.

Congratulations with your store!!!
I have no problems to see the pages and they are not slow.
I like it!

Thanks for the quick response.

Actually I just caught a few typos and a button that linked to the wrong page, but other than that -- :cwmddd: seems okay.

It feels a little funny to finally start selling stuff here. Other than the Premium Memberships, which were created to help pay for the increasing storage space that all the art requires, we haven't been commercial at all. :gallery:

We're probably the only artist community that still doesn't have ads plastered on the front page, or for that matter, on every page. But we're getting bigger and the costs of maintaining the site are growing in lock-step. So, this is a way, hopefully, to grow stronger as we grow bigger.

Congratulations! It is easy to navigate, and quick too. Lots of interesting stuff to browse! I especially like the Sunny Day Collection in the Café Press stuff! (gonna get me a mousepad!)

This is an excellently well set up facility in this site, and should generate lots of interest and hopefully revenue for its upkeep too!

My only disappointment? I was looking forward to seeing some actual art displayed there for sale? Is this still to come?

Glenn, I really love your picture on the front page too! Would like to see a lot more...

Glenn, just to let you know I found your link on the homepage to some of your artwork - most impressive too! :nod:

Looks great although I had to refresh each page to get it to load right, kept getting white boxes, refresh and it was fine.

Awesome Glenn ......Good Luck with it

Thanks very much for your feedback everybody!
I stayed up several nights in a row to get this thing up
and running on schedule. So, it's gratifying to get a
positive reaction. I really do appreciate that you each
took the time to go check out the store.

As for the need to refresh the screen: This is because I went back
and made corrections, so anyone who visited earlier and then returned,
would need to refresh in order to see the revised pages. Sorry about
the inconvenience, but those sort of revisions have to be expected
when launching a large new section of the site.
This will not be required very often in the future.

AnnaKirsten: Thank you for the kind comment about my artwork.
That means a lot to me. Regarding your desire to see original art
and prints sold in the store, I whole-heartedly concur. I would like
to see this too! I'm working on it. :eyepoppin

Angela: How very thoughtful of you to mention how to navigate to
the store:exclaim: Thanks deeply!

I guess I fulfilled my smiley quota, so I'll spare you this time.
Oh what the heck . . . :party:
