A Daunting Task

Posted on 5:52 AM by Unknown
I was going to post this yesterday but I got too busy.

Here is the rainfall graph.  Columbus received .0.66 inches of rain the other day while Madison had 0.26  More rain on teh way Sunday - guess I'll have to get the lawn mower out again. 


 OK - this will label me as a bad person but I actually LOL'd maybe it's just the way it was worded? I feel bad for laughing.  

A jihadi rapper from Alabama who had a $5 million bounty put on his head by the FBI after he climbed the ranks of an al Qaeda-linked Somali militant group has reportedly been killed by members of his own organization.

News from downtown - - - - The Broadway Theater has risen like a Phoenix.  

Exciting News! We had our first contractors into the space this morning! Among other things they said that the project’s estimated timetable of completion would be about five months. They were impressed with the vision and enthusiastic about the space’s potential. They were professional and we look forward to getting their estimate.

I believe the REAL wording should be - "once we get approval from the City Council completion would be about five months. "

 -----------------------------------------

So I'm creating a store front for a new site (newer then the new site I had a few weeks ago).  I now realize that when people asked me if I had a web portal for ordering prints they REALLY were hoping I had a storefront where they could find an image, click on it and bingo, it would be ordered and delivered. 

SO - my task now is to create a storefront with all the bells and whistles. Not THAT hard but the "daunting task" is deciding and compiling my vast amount of images into some sort of easy to find arrays.  I have to resize an image for the storefront, then for each image I have to resize for every size ordered.  So typically for each shot I have at least 5 copies. 

Deciding, resizing, uploading, comments, descriptions, sizes, prices and so forth for each image.

Now I see I have to design shipping labels and thank you cards and so forth. 

DAUNTING!!

Here is a sneak peak

A work in progress - the GUI and back-end both work - need more images

I was sort of against shopping cards for art.  I wanted personal contact but after listening to 3 or 4 podcasts about such things and playing back what people in art fairs were asking . . . .

I mean 5 years ago who would have purchased SHOES online but ZAPPOS is now a billion dollar company.   With over a billion people online and my ability to ship worldwide . . . . . buying art online is not THAT of an odd thing.
