Yes, I’m working on it, laboriously and much too slowly as you may have noticed. I have to admit I’ve been procrastinating on getting this done. My reason is not an excuse just the truth: this is the most tedious and boring stage of my web site setup. I’m trying the open source Zen Cart and there are many details in setting up the security and configuring the mechanics of how the cart will run. I’m following the tutorials on the zen cart site plus following the chapters in the 400 page Zen Cart book. And then there’s the beautification-the default storefront page looks nothing like my site and I will have to learn how to override and customize the look and feel with the goal of matching the rest of the site. From what I’ve read in various forums it’s quite the task for zen cart.

I wanted to get this out and be publicly accountable for getting this done. Give me hell if you want to. For a sneak peek you can watch my progress here: http://paperduck.com/store/
