Now I’m curious about what the hell is going on.

Thanks spas/michelle…
We calculated shipping based on the weight and size…according to the US postal service.

I wish it was cheaper…but we’re not big enough to get a discount from the post office.

There’s only a few days left until the store goes away. So if you still want the deal…you’ll have to act soon.

sorry the site got hacked – who would do that to someone as nice as you?

awesome about cheaper international shipping. i looked at the shipping and it was $50 to israel – making a purchase totally unfeasible. i’ve thought about shipping it to a stateside relative and i may still do that but not everyone has that option and outlandish shipping fees definitely do prevent non-u.s. residents from purchasing all the time.

As a general rule, don’t do anything in Javascript that you can do some other way.

For adding new pages, the easiest way is probably to just make a copy of the template each time you want to make a new page and then edit it. There are plenty of free “what you see is what you get” editors which make very ugly code, but which do actually work. http://www.dynamic-html-editor.com/en/home.asp (I have no idea how good this one is)

Just google “WYSIWYG web editor” or “WYSIWYG html editor”. You’ll never have to mess with code, unless you decide you want to (it’s much better if you do, but you have much more important things to do. Like comic!). Alternately you can try to find some fan to manage all that for you. I’m sure you’d get plenty of takers for it :p

So far as safety goes, it’s going to be really hard to know for sure whether or not you’ve fixed something without knowing what it was that had the leak in the first place. If you can’t figure it out, just don’t put any “dynamic” content at all, and you should be pretty safe.

Thanks ThreadMangler…
The mockup looks great.
I’d like to see where I can go from there.

The site had code in it that let hackers in. That’s all I know.
That’s why I took it all down.

Kai…
Thank you. The site is already designed. I’m just needing some advice on how to put it back up safely and how to add new pages.

Thank you though.

Are you in need of a web designer? I’m a June grad of the The Art Institute of York-Pennsylvania with an Associate Degree in Specialized Technology in Web Design.

@sythiar: HighSlide looks really neat, but takes up more space. It all depends on what you need. Thanks for pointing it out though. Also, Lightbox is free for all usage.

@Scott: Do you know how your site was hacked into/what they did? And will you still have a store, just somewhere else on the web? Are you interested in having a blog (for news, etc.)?

I made a full mock-up at that URL from my last comment. Insomnia sure is motivational.

Feel better and Happy Holidays!

If you have a text editor, you can edit HTML. Your webhost may also offer direct editing of your pages. If not, you will also need some sort of FTP program (or web FTP access) to upload the files.

Check out: http://dandyyethandy.com/bds/index.html for a mock-up of the site and let me know what you think. Right now only the index and about pages are up.
