Where can I find information on setting up my web site to sell my music compositions? I’d like to sell my original sheet music and audio versions for downloading. The site will need “penpal” for a customer to pay for each download.
Thank you.
I normally suggest that you separate your functions. You can set up your main site to show off your stuff (have some song snippets available, some example text) which is easy using WordPress. You can then use a real store site to actually sell your stuff. Right now I’ve not found any good way to integrate both into WordPress. Also, Its not a bad idea getting a Paypal and a Google Checkout account, they’re both free.
We really liked your blog and this info on the ad-supported model…we believe in it enough to have just pushed out BETA 2 of our site!
Sincerely,
The Songnumbers Team
Hello –
I am trying to setup the AWSOM gallery in a wordpress blog for a friend. I’d like to use the same border that you use for your administrative screenshots. How can I do that?
Great, thank you
Thank you very much for this great plugin. This is actually my first time seeing someone using video to show people how to use plugin. It is absolutely a great plus.
Thank you again.
I think it is a little outdated but still pretty useful.
Wow, 16 more reasons why Firefox is The BEST!
fyi – tried watching the video tutorial #1 – creating you first gallery… in both Firefox and Chrome just now – crashed both browsers – was able to watch #2 just fine
Very weird. The video uses a pretty standard quicktime format. Is it possible you need to update your version of Quicktime? Was this on a PC, Mac, or Linux?
