If you’ve got fantastic products that will fly off of your shelves but don’t know how to setup a ecommerce website, this is your lucky day.

There aren’t many head to head comparisons between the three major ways you can create an online store. Did I mention, there are three major ways to create an online store?

eCommerce Shopping Carts / Features	ZenCart and OsCommerce	Paypal
Total Flexibility of Design Layout		Yes
Requirement for Design Modification	HTML; PHP	HTML
Hosting	Owner	Paypal
Additional Hosting Cost	Yes
Security	Owner Responsible	Paypal
Additional Security Cert Cost	Yes
Ideal for SKU Numbers	100+	1-150
Support and Maintenance	Experienced PHP	User / Owner / HTML
Auto Product Tagging and Grouping	Yes	(CMS required or simple HTML work)
Product and Pricing Change Authorization	Admin	Paypal Account Owner
Main Usability Differences	Both ZenCart and OsCommerce allows product tagging, simple price changes, inventory depreciation, and more features t available in paypal. However, for less than 100 items, and if quickbooks is used, ne of these features are necessary. Also, these cart systems requires that all content and web design need to be inside of the system. Paypal does t swallow the website	Paypal is the simplest and most secure shopping cart management system. Recently, they even added universal button changes where one control panel detail can be changed and instances of that “buy w” or “add to cart” button will be automatically modified. With Paypal, the ongoing cost of a 3rd party security certificate is unnecessary as all transactions happen on Paypals HTTPS servers. The biggest difference is that both ZenCart and OsCommerce require all changes including price and design to be done within their software. Paypal does t. Paypal works with any simple html page.

OK… So here’s the short scoop. I started out in the dot com in the late 90′s. Professionally, I’m a web guy. But after my last website, I took two years off to do something I’ve always wanted to do… Meditate.

THIS is what I learned about handling idiots and assholes at the office

And yes, I even let my hair grow out. Adds to the experience! =p

How to Be Heard at a Meeting

Let’s face it. Meetings are generally a total self-glorification-fest. Everyone comes in with a heart full of gripes they want to spew onto everyone else in the room. If one person hits on a nerve, then everyone transmutes into a mindless zombie mob of vocalized discontent.

If you want to be heard at a meeting, let the frustrated steam of everyone else in the room out first. Then speak your mind.

Nobody wants to eat on a full stomach.
