E-commerce Shopping Cart Options?

by Nan Stefanik | Questions & Answers

My small business is planning to launch an e-commerce site in the next few months and is looking into shopping cart options.   I’m wondering if anyone has done recent research on the pros and cons of the various tools out there.  Initially, the number of products offered will be fewer than 20 and we’ll probably use PayPal for the financial transactions.  Simple integration with QuickBooks would be nice.  Can anyone help us out?

THANKS!

Pets Section Now Features Windham County Pets

by cgrotke | Pets

If you look in the right sidebar in the Pets section, you’ll see that we’re now featuring pets available for adoption from the Windham County Humane Society.

It used to be that we could only show pets from all of Vermont. It’s great to now be able to feature local pets that need homes.

The box will load a pair of random pets from the available pet list maintained by WCHS.
