Writing a good story is like building a good sand castle. First you plop down the mound of sand, then you begin to carve. You let what's not needed, fall away. The more you carve off, the more detailed and beautiful and interesting the castle becomes

Almost

 

I'm just about done with ArtByBrett.com for the time being. Order Processing is complete. Order Management is now available.

The only things left to do are:

  • Show a detailed overview of the order, with separated ship dates and custom text when purchased.
  • Administratively view the orders to be shipped and manage their status.
  • Test like crazy!
All do-able in the next two days. Web site ready by the end of January. Milestone accomplished.

I spent a lot of time tonight in PayPal's developer "Sandbox," which is a pretty cool feature. Effectively, it's a mirror of the PayPal site, but with dummy transactions for thorough testing. One nice thing that PayPal does is to hand back to me the order details in a posted form, so that I can retrieve the purchase information (payment status, payment date, transaction ID, etc).

I mentioned a couple of days ago that I might work on Art I Can Afford.com later this year. To be clear, that's not a replacement of ArtByBrett.com, but rather it would be a web site for artists to post their work to sell, such as Kris does. She uses her comments section as an auction block - ingenius. If ArtByBrett does well, then I'll work on Art I Can Afford and build auctioning into it. But it would be a completely separate and independent web site for use by multiple artists to sell their work for less than $100 (hence, the "afford"-able theme of the site).

And with that, time for bed...
