Well Christmas is over now and its time to get back to the challenge!
Christmas day was good apart from the hayfever (New Zealand doesn’t get a white Christmas!) We ate a lot and sat about so now I am feeling ready to hit it hard and get his website conquered!
It was quite good to have a break and then to look at it with fresh eyes and a new sense of vigour.
I couldn’t decide whether to try to get the theme to look how I want it to or to get the site to work how I want it to and then to worry about how it looks later. I am still not really sure but I have decide to get the content and the functionality all sorted out first because I am not really 10% sure how it should look.
Also as I am creating a website for my boyfriend as this test site, then I fugure that he may have some ideas of how he would like it to look and I will not be able to deal with those comments until I have the site in better working order.
So I am working through the tutorials at Learn By The Drop, which have really helped me and also made me feel like I am still relaxing a bit coz its kinda like watching tv.
I think what I have to figure out is what I would like on the front page and then decide whether we would like to try selling from the site as that will add in another whole load of things I need to think about and I would rather do it now than do it later when the site looks great and it would be a hassle to add anything.
So I am looking through Google to see how others have created e-commerce sites with Drupal and also I have been looking out photos and content for the site coz it won’t be much of a site if there isn’t anything on it!
Feeling quite relaxed as I am not really doing anything difficult right now. I know it will get bad again tho as soon as I start to actually DO SOMETHING and stop reading… 😀 he he
