OT: Need a check on my site

I've just started (and I mean "just") offering a short photo book on
my site, www.charlieselfonline.com

If anyone has time, I'd appreciate a look at the "Products" page, and
a check to see if the link works. Then post here to let me know, or
email me through the site.

I'm not asking you to buy anything, and there's no woodworking content
up yet, though a couple small items are ready (just that at the moment
getting anything on-line and working is a 12 hour per item PITA).

Charlie... My guess is that the suggestion was to rename the Button from Index
to Home.. The actual link would stay the same..

I'lll be dipped if I know. Payloadz is the spot where the book rises
for purchase and download, but so far, it has been a bigger pain in
the ass than using Yahoo for my web site. I spent something like a
dozen hours yesterday getting the page up, all the basic in Payloadz,
I thought, taken care of, only to have them tell me, time after time,
that the product page URL did not exist. Their Express set up what you
see.

I'll have to check, maybe see if I can get my wife to go through her
computer and carry the process through. If that doesn't work, take it
down, dump Payloadz and rethink the set up.

Couple of comments.

As the other poster said - "buying" simply opens an email, with not
even a subject. This is rather confusing. Shopping carts - much
better idea.

Would you be willing to resize the home page so it doesn't require
scroll bars (vert and horiz)? (I'm using 1280x1024 resolution.)

"Index" might be relabeled "Home".

You've got scroll bars showing up some pages in the middle of the
content: CharlieSelf & Hardwood, that, while they do seem to serve a
purpose, are so small relative to info w/in, they are confusing.

Since it's still a work in progress, I'll stop there, exceptin' to say
- pretty good for a first take!!

I can't get the scroll bars to move around on this monitor, and they
were OK on my old monitor, a 19" Viewsonic CRT, sam rez you're using.

I guess first I need to check and see if I can change Index to Home or
some such, then check to see what's needed to add a shopping cart.
God, these "all in one" solutions are usuall "all in none" and it's
possible Payloadz is that way. I'd had good reports, but no
experience.

I think as a starter, I'll go back and try to do this whole thing
through the longer Payloadz set up. If that works, we'll see, but if
not, time to find another autodownloader/money collector.

Thanks, people!

From what I can find out, the changes seem to have worked. Whew! As
with most things computorized, the start is a PITA, at least for me.

I did get one woodworking related article up, too.

comments sent through the "mailto:" link on the page. "Products" link

Enter your URL and this will check the code for mistakes to allow page to

Yahoo consistently tells me that an Index page is essential. I've
tried renaming it, but with their set up, renaming that one page just
doesn't work. Weird.

I thought I had that thing set up pretty cleanly, but it's hard to
tell on my monitor--Dell 2408WFP. I've got a lot of screen left on the
right, some on the bottom, but I'm running--whassit? Native rez is
1920 x 1200, I think. I'll see what's possible in the next few weeks.

Fred,

What resolution are you setting these photos to when you post them? My
monitor isn't a fair test, as it is large enough to show all faults,
but if you're doing the old standard of 72 PPI, you will show better
results at the same size by posting them at 96 or 100 PPI.

When you look in your program for working with the photos, it should
have a Resize Images command somewhere. When you open that, you'll get
a box showing pixels per inch, as well as overall size in inches. Make
changes in each unit as needed.

Your photos are good, but because of sizing, come up grainy looking
(called noise today), without sharp edges.

Frank,

I just made some changes--jeez, the terminology would give a bat
cramps--and it should have a Buy Now button. I hope.

I'll get a couple of woodworking articles up soon, and at least one
freebie. Gotta draw those massive crowds with giveaways.

ok this time it seems to have worked. I did not wait for the payzoids
page to open but the URL was in the new browser window so I assume you
might have that problem fixed. good luck with it charlie!

I clicked on products and went to a page that showed the book. I clicked on
buy now and went to an order page. Everything worked for me.

Did you make changes or do I have a magic touch?
