Vent about not knowing how to do anything on my website

[Galatea]

I'm tired of working on my webstore. I don't understand what picture goes where and what each does in the storeadmin and what size to use or how to get it to what size and it is making me feel stupid.

we all feel that way at some point (even those who know alot)...

my best advice is to walk away....go outside, talk to a friend, take a break.

some days its just not meant to be - try another day....as much as we want it -right now- it doesn't have to happen right now.

That's probably better advice than throwing something at the monitor.

Does your provider have a forum that you can get help from? I went thru the same thing....you'll be amazed, 3 months from now, how much you have learned. Hang in there!

They have free support and a knowledgebase... I know I'll get it eventually but right now I'm tired.

Well, we can't wait to see your site once it's up and running! Post a link when you're all ready.

Yeah, but it is so not done! I'm going to put up the maintenance thing!

I"m with pappashop. I designed my own website. Let me know if you have any questions! It's not as difficult as you think. It just takes time to learn. It did give me a headache when I was going through all the tutorials.

For pics, I just use the

Thumbnail URL:
for my small thumbnail pictures

Large Image URL:
for my product page large pictures.

I use Photoshop to create/chop/resize all my pictures.

Pappashop tutorials are very straight forward. Just takes time! Hang in there!

So what the heck are all the other picture fields for?

You only have to use what you want. You can add up to three pictures for any product but you don't have to. Each picture you have a thumbnail and a large picture and you can have 3 small thumbnail/large picture combinations shown for each product. But you could use 1, 2 or 3... just depends on what you want to display.
