err, I don't quite know what that means, but I expect Vegplot will and I'll see if I can find out. The current plan if I've understood it correctly is to move the good bits of the site out for a while so we can scrap everything else (there are bits of files in there left over from the old Geocities days I suspect, I've always been to afraid to delete old versions in case I scrap something important ) then put the usable bits back in a tidy way.
I do need to find a new shop option, the oscommerce one has been aging rapidly for ages now, I've tried to look up reviews of different options but they all assume one speaks a certain techie language and I get utterly boggled by the bits about installation requirements before I get to the parts about whether I can get it to do the things I need, like postage based on weight and region rather than the flat rate only that a lot of the online shop options seem to stick with.
I know its pathetic that I can't manage all this tidily in this day and age, everyone else on the planet seems to be able to converse about php and coding stuff without needing to lie down in a darkened room with a nice flint axe for comfort, but I'm failing badly at keeping up here |

It's not pathetic at all Sally. I'm an ex-web designer, I've started describing my own website as 'vintage' and 'retro', it's so in need of an overhaul.
People still buy from it tho', so it's functional, if not a thing of great beauty.
