anyway, i fudged majorly.. simon got the tip to go get a domain from 1and1 from jefferey boone (his gallery) and so we got an eshop and i tried to but it sucked.. so i axed lia who mentioned it before in the comments on me blog...and she said it was too complicated and she would want to do it differently from the start so i had to cancel my eshop package but then ay caramba. i ended up canceling the wrong thing i guess.
i didnt realize that i bought the domain from 1and1. like hello, so i ended up canceling my domain then transferred it to godaddy and got a hosting package at bluefur. its was all wrong coz i canceled my domain in the first place right after i bought it. oh my gosh so anyway i had to keep calling 1and1 and lia kept trying to figure out how to get started and i had to get a dummy domain but it was empty so then they had to do something i dont know. the thing that saved me from complete meltdown while talking on the phone with the 1and1 technical service was that they were in the philippines so i felt like i was talking to my cousin jerome. damn. they were pretty good with dealing with my incompetent ass, having to get two accounts, i think now in 12 hours i dont know somethings gonna happen and lia will be able to log in and redirect the DNS server to bluefur. its all so strange like a universal foreign language. so the eshop, me trying it myself was way hard, not only was it hard but it was ugly and slow. the first stuff i did for my site is gone now but maybe its on some web archive.
anyway there. O-O im hoping it goes well.
heres the first banner lia made.. she did it so fast its so nice. youll be so proud of my site when you see it. i promise, plus ive been making items like crazy.


meanwhile ive been filling up inventories for the local shops and hope to finish soon ive been making duplicates of 3 of the same piece whenever i finish designing one but am now thinking i should up that amount to 6. its slower but then its easier in the long run.
im going to be attending this event with my stuff! gulp: 'Attendees are WWS Members and their friends, i.e. professional women in their 20s, 30s, 40s & 50s. Other vendors we are speaking to are local designers/retailers focused on fashion and jewellery.'
