Turn your wordpress into shopping cart !!

WordPress is flexible and there are themes that transform your standard wordpress into a fully functional ecommerce shopping cart with back-end product administation.

The Market Theme – Utilizing custom fields all over the place, Market allows you to easily add products, set prices, and instantly create buy now buttons automatically (using your email address as set in the WordPress Dash). Market truly is the ultimate solution for creating an environment where you can sell your own products, both physical and digital, without any set up time at all.

Market utilizes phpThumb to generate on-the-fly thumbnails and FancyZoom to show multiple full size images of your products. It’s really slick and visual appealling! And just like any other WordPress theme, it can be customized as much or as little as you want (well, the default theme does looks pretty good).

Price : from USD $55.

Some short domain names (3 to 6 characters) are valuable. But owning them carries risk: since so many companies have three to 6 character acronyms, they often feel they are entitled to your domain.

If you own a nice domain name, here are some tips to avoid losing them in arbitration:

1. Do not park the domain name. It’s possible that a company with the same acronym will point to ads on the parked page as infringing their trademark. You need to control the content, and parked pages frequently optimize with ads that can be used against you.

2. Create a site. Even a small site is fine. Your goal here is to make sure no one can claim you have no legitimate use and rights for the domain name. I recently talked with a domainer who owns several three letter domains. He creates an affiliate site for each one. Avoid having the content has related products to the trademark.

3. File for a trademark once #2 is done.

Of course, doing this doesn’t prevent you from receiving a UDRP letter. Consider the case of Ace.com and Ace.us. The best I can tell, this domain has been used for a legitimate business for many years. The owner of the sites, WebMagic Ventures, even has a trademark for the term “Ace”.

So who’s challenging the owner of Ace.com and Ace.us? There are a number of companies holding trademarks for the term “Ace”, and I can’t see a reason why any of them should be entitled to this domain. This could be a clear cut case of reverse domain name hijacking, but we’ll have to wait to see.

To create the database backup, you have three options .

1. Use the cpanel backup option.  This is usually the easiest., however the file will be in .sql.gz format.   If using this option, you will need to first unzip the file using a program such as winrar, then to open the file, unless you have another program already setup to open it, you would use wordpad.

2. Alternative way:

a. login to cpanel
b. click on mysql databases
c. scroll down and click on phpmyadmin
d. If you have more then 1 database, on the left hand side choose the database you want to download.  Do NOT click on any tables for the individual database
e. on the right hand side, click on “export” and make sure that all your tables listed are highlighted.
f. Make sure “save as file” is selected
g. click on “go”

This will allow you to download your database into a .sql file.

3. Another alternative:

Use the same steps as above except on step 6 do NOT “save as file”.  This will display your complete database within the browser window, and you can then do a “copy/paste” into a wordpad file.  If using this method, if saving the information to your local system, save the file as a .sql in case you ever need to import it to phpmyadmin.

WARNING:

If your Database is excessively large, and you may experience issues with either method above if you have any instability with your connection between your location and the server.

If you continue to experience issues, contact your support, advise you are having issues, and ask if a technician can create a backup and save it to your file structure so that it can be downloaded via browser.

They will usually need the following information:

1. Last four of card on record, account username, account password (this is for ownership verification)
2. Database name, database username, database password
3, Location where you would like the database backup moved to, must be inside public_html to allow for download via browser.
4. Url of this forum, so that they can see the history of this issue
