I have a few websites, also some selling by the way, and another one with a real shop.

If you let me know exactly what you want to do, and which group you are targeting

To both of you: Before investing time and money, know how you will publicize it, as a beautiful site without visitors (that are interested) is a waste.

Just spoke to someone in Israel who paid for a site and during the two years its was up she sold exactly one
item.

BTW it's still up so if you have any suggestions on how to help her, I'd be happy to hear.

It seems like a new feature to customize your Google homepage. In the bottom left corner, there is an option to change the image.

google is trying more and more things to keep higher than bing. they put on cool pics from different artists, and you can now chose your own background.
but now they put it back to white, they say it's bc of some bug, that was making the buttons not work, wtvr, but u can still choose your own pic.

why is that the opposite? that's saying the same thing: bing is trying to catch up with google and google is trying to jump higher by doing more stuff

Personally I've made my sites with Prestashop, but if you want something a little more turnkey I've heard good things about BigCartel.com  It's free to have a shop of 5 items or less.
