This site management thing is a nightmare.
I'm venting, and this may well end up getting deleted, but I'm having real issues with the site - something I expected to be fairly easy. The issue is actually not mine - it's PayPal's. I've had lots of issues with them so far, but now it seems that the buttons I made for the multipack cards don't work. Now, why those ones in particular don't work I have no idea. I made them all in the same way. All the others work. The single cards and the prints are all fine. But it's pretty annoying. I envisage the multipack cards being my biggest earner - so much so that I have sales pending that I can't complete because PayPal is being, well, PayPal. Thankfully, the cutomers in question have emailed me to let me know about the problem, and are willing to wait for the issue to be fixed. But why is it doing this?! Why is it so hard? This was meant to be the easy bit, right?! I've made the stock, I've single handedly, pretty much, built the site up from scratch - I began by coding it myself, and then moved to Dreamweaver (my version of which seems to be riddled with bugs, so that hasn't been easy either...) and now I have issues that I don't seem to be able to resolve.
How frustrating.
I just want to get going. I want to be able to email all my family and friends about the site, and I can't - because they won't be able to buy anything - and what's the point in that?! I know that if I go to a site and it doesn't work, I don't get back. If I'm really passionate about what the site is for/selling then I might email them and let them know there's a problem, but I still go and find what I want somewhere else. I don't want that to happen to my site. I don't want to damage what will already be a tricky thing to get going by handing people a broken site.
That would be foolish.
