Introducing the AlwaysShopping catalog! Thursday, May 08, 2003 - Posted at 11:29 am EST
The AlwaysShoppingTMcatalog will be offering elegant gifts for your special occasions.
Our first product offering will be a selection of framed photographs of "The Old Man and the Mountain" from our partners at AlwaysPhotographingTM
We think that you will agree with us that these photographs are the perfect way to remember this natural wonder.
. Our catalog will offer products for purchase directly on this site, using the PayPal shopping cart. PayPal (now owned by Ebay) is the industry leader in online payment. You can be confident that your personal information is safe on their secure servers
Our catalog will also provide links to items that we have on auction at Ebay or other sites. We are currently listing one of the photographs on Ebay.
Please visit often, we will be adding more gifts very soon!
Welcome To Our Web Log! Sunday, May 04, 2003 - Posted at 8:03 pm EST
We are working on some exciting new changes to our AlwaysShoppingTM site. Our first change is the introduction of a Web Log.
As you may recall, we used to publish an email newsletter about online shopping. The world of ecommerce has changed a lot since then and sadly the SPAM problem has made our email boxes almost unusable. We think that "blogging" provides a better solution for both the publisher and the reader. We will be publishing shopping-related news along with updates about this site.
If you are unfamiliar with web logs, this means that a content management program is used to author articles and to publish them in a standard format. Older articles will automatically drop off of the front page, but will remain available in the archives. There are many programs available that will alert the user of updates to sites of interest.
We are very excited to be joining the "Blogging" community. With this technology we will be better able to keep our site fresh and to help our visitors find new or timely articles.
Our news is powered by BlogWorks XML , which we found very easy to set up on our site. In addition to helping us to manage our news on our own site, BlogWorks also notifies major "Blogging" sites WebLogs.com and Blo.gs when we update our web log. BlogWorks will also produce an XML data feed that will let us syndicate our news to users of RSS news readers.
