Setting up Shop

Work continues apace on the robives.com site. Not much to see up front at the moment but it is coming along. I've settled with e-junkie as the store, they're the one I'm using now on the fp site. They work well and are unobtrusive. The only thing I don't like is the name - what were they thinking!
So - I've set up a simple store frame work where I can easily new products. Each product is its own node (drupal speak for thing) This will let be search, sort and display a whole load of products without having to continually edit whole swathes of website.
I'm working on user profiles next.
I'm leaving the theming until later when the contents of the site are more settled.
The shop part is fully working though not polished.
Things to add to the site:
Recent images - thumbnails of photos related paper models, linking to a gallery.
Tell a friend - I'm fairly sure there is a Drupal module that will take care of this.
Mechanisms - The fp mechanisms section is searchable, sortable format.
This blog? - It would probably make sense to integrate this website into the ri site.

Working on the web

Mainly been doing research today, finding out how to develop themes in Drupal. I've also been ratching around on the web looking for ideas. I've started sketching up some bits and pieces - oh, and I've installed Ubercart on the new website so, not actually as unproductive as I thought. Meanwhile, my one true love starts work as a deputy head teacher tomorrow, first born daughter has just had her GCSE results - 13 As and Bs! She's starting at the sixth form this week. And first born son is starting his new secondary school.
All change!
