osCommerce Blog

Hi all, 

I hope everyone is not stressing out for the Holiday season!
I have decided to start Andrew’s osCommerce site of the month. Each month I will post my favorite osCommerce store based on all the live shops entries reviewed by me. It will be based on design and usability.

My favorite site for DECEMBER is:
The Rocking Horse
On line baby boutique & stylish gifts.

I really like the site’s overall layout. They did an excellent job with the design and navigation buttons. The osCommerce portion is nicely integrated into the rest of the website.

Hi everyone, I hope everybody had a good Thanksgiving. I just got back from shopping after attempting to buy several tech items. One of which was a 250 gig external hard drive. After getting to the stores at around 8 am I had no luck Lines were long and stores did not have enough of the advertised items. How many people believe in shopping on Black Friday? Is it worth it anymore or is it just better to shop online? Do you offer Black Friday specials on your osCommerce store? I am beginning to think it’s better to just stay at home especially with my experience today, not being able to get anything that was advertised. And after you get what’s advertised you have to spend time filling out rebates!

So I was at a restaurant yesterday and we ordered a dish with vegetables. As soon as it comes out and I begin to dig in and guess what I see in it? It was a green caterpillar! With all the news in the US about e-coli and raw spinach and this recent incident that I had, I suggest paying careful attention and make sure you wash your vegetables prior to cooking or eating it. Have you ever found something really weird in your dish at a restaurant? This was defiantly a first for me!

On a side note, I finished the final stages of a project I have been working on. As a webmaster looking for link exchange have you ever wondered if a site is a reliable reciprocal or paid link partner? I have created an organization QLEW (Quality Link Exchange Websites) which allows webmasters to leave comments on websites that offer reciprocal or paid link exchange. Membership is free but all QLEW members must abide by a strict code of ethics. If you have an osCommerce store that has a link directory please check out becomeing a member of Find quality link exchange websites.
