So, I'm going to offer up my first ZenCart tip - it's something I learned yesterday. I've done a few ZenCart installations/customizations in the last year. Thank God, the more I do it, the better I get. ZenCart can be daunting the first time you tackle it. I have ideas on how to make it better, but I don't think there's many of the experts out there who would agree with my methods. BUT - I will say that they work for me. So, out of all of the ZenCart installations I've done, there's one recurring theme that seems to be happening: the need for extra fields. Namely, the need for a secondary "description" field for each product. Every client I've ever had has needed this capability. Up to now, I've managed to do what they desire with creative CSS code - and I mean creative. I pride myself on my clean, semantic code - but the need for what some of these people want forces me to revert to some really interesting, "out of the box" thinking (aka, reverting back to 1997 on some occasions, and completely ignoring some browsers on others.) In every instance, it would have been really great if I could have just one more field for my description. And now, I've figured it out!

This site has been up for about a year - can you believe it? I can't. Anyway, after my big mess-up, I've been working diligently on a new theme. You're looking at it now. It's very red, ain't it? Please bear with me, as there's a few issues I've found - I forgot I had some things set up, and now I have to go through and fix them. But everything's here - it's just a matter of finding it all. I'm really busy this weekend, so I probably won't get to some things until next week, but for now, search is your friend. Thanks for being patient!

You know, the basis of this site is for people to use what I've learned, to his point in my life, about web design and the things that go along with it. I do not consider myself to be an expert in anything - I'm a work in progress. However, the point I am at might be a little bit further than where you are at - and hopefully you can learn from my mistakes without having to make them yourself. But everything said on this site should be taken with a grain of salt, because I don't know everything, and sometimes I say things here that I'll find out later I was mistaken about. (But ...
