Whee! I almost have a functioning Amazon bookstore on the site! Once it’s working I’ll put links to it, but I may be tweaking it for a while yet. I really don’t like the default index; I’d rather have the categories go to a page of subcategories so that I could have featured products on each page. I have no idea how to do that, as I really don’t know php, but I may decide to try and figure it out. I’m stubborn! I’ve done a fair amount of tweaking already to make it fit in my template, which it doesn’t quite do just yet. I have to figure out how to force the matter a little. It’s not generating all of the correct tags (some of the coding is very sloppy, but hey, it was free), so I’m having to figure out how to fix all of that. While I may not know php, I have studied other programming languages, so I can read it reasonably well and get the logic of how to add things in reasonably well.

Then comes SEO on that part! I would love to be able to put in just a bit of my own content on some of the pages, the category pages at the very least, and make it more search engine friendly. Have to see if I can figure out how to do a mod-rewrite, which should make the urls appear to be static rather than dynamic. It’s going to be a lot of work, but between having lots of extra pages available and the potential for income, I think the work will be well worthwhile.
