Thanks Clint! It's taken a lot of time, but in the end...worth it!
zulu, I completely understand your perspective - and you are right, that is something I'm going to have to overcome. I took so many hits with crappy servers, hosts, and sites last year a lot of folks are understandably gun-shy. When I exhausted options on a site or service, I pulled it and started building a new one - it's just what entrepeneurs do when something isn't working no matter how much time or money you throw at it. But I am moving forward and putting that behind me. I'm up to the challenge.
PoserMerchant.com is still running - after some technical issues with the store I had there (I originally was trying to do THIS store at that site), I removed it and switched over to a blog format which I update at least monthly.
What I found was, trying to mix the Comic Tools, Posertrax, Silverwing3d, and PoserMerchant marketing products just didn't work - it confused visitors, and the OS Commerce platform bugs just made it worse. By leaving out the marketing products, and doing the rebranding, I'm getting much more targeted visitors and buyers. And PoserMerchant.com is also getting its own targeted traffic.
I hope that explains what happened with the PoserMerchant site. I wasn't aware the downtime looked like I closed it. Let me know if you have any questions or anything,
Thanks!
