Create an Add to Cart PayPal Button
Posted by: | Comments
PayPal’s shopping cart makes it easy for website owners to process payments for multiple products.
Other shopping carts like 1ShoppingCart, ZenCart and so on require a different payment processor on the back-end, usually with a merchant account tied to a gateway like Authorize.net. That makes the setup process cumbersome and time consuming, sometimes taking months if you don’t already have a merchant account and gateway setup.

Posted by: | Comments
I have been bombarded by Stik.com wall posts. I find this application annoying because I would not recommend anyone unless I know them personally and if that is the case, contact me directly and I’m happy to oblige. I’m pretty picky, I don’t like any application posted from others on my wall. However, I do love just regular wall posts from friends and family, so I don’t want to restrict my wall privacy settings. If you have any involvement with this application and would like to get rid of it, here is how:
Finding Balance for the Creative Soul
Posted by: | CommentsLaura Hollick posted a great tip today on her site that I just had to share. It’s all about the creative balance between doing and being. We are creative people and when we get out of balance we lose our love of crafting. I know I’ve been there. In fact, right now I’m not giving myself planned time to dream creatively and I can feel I’m out of balance. I know I have a friend who has been so frustrated lately and after listening to Laura I think she maybe more in the BEING and less in the DOING. She can’t find time for crafting but she reads blogs all the time about crafting projects that she would like to do. Does that sound familiar? I can help you with that because I’m really good at the doing part!

Facebook Pages
Posted by: | Comments There was a lot of hubbub after Leadership about Facebook Profiles vs Facebook Pages. Basically, Facebook profiles are a place where you interact with your friends and Facebook Pages is where you would communicate about your Stampin’ Up! business.
Stampin’ Up! has since added a Q&A section on the demo web site which I highly recommend that you read. I think they did a wonderful job at highlighting and answering a few questions that we all ask about how to promote our Stampin’ Up! business. Go now…log-in to the Stampin’ Up! demonstrator website and find the page here –>Home > Training > Social Media Training > Facebook Q&A.
