This post contains a cluster of frustration.

With html and css and whatever it takes to get whatever I want on my website. I've spent the majority of my weekend, with the help of Aaron, navigating the foreign world of html and css. All of a sudden, I wanted to customize my bigcartel store so that it did not look like it fell of a production line webshop truck. Through trial and error and some amazing programs like firebug, we got a few things that I wanted:

* Creating a horizontal top navigation bar
* Integrating the blog into my shop and not having customers taken to another website.
* Contact forms instead of saying " email me here"
* Getting rid of bigcartel badges
* Getting rid of ugly hovering backgrounds and only have hovering colours on text.
* Putting images into my cart for my customers!!

It all seems very cool because what I require of bigcartel/website is very simple. Now all I have to figure out is how to move my product list up and on the left hand side so that I can have that as my product navigation. It's my last hurdle and I won't give up!





See that? Ah!! I'm sure with a bit of mucking around, it'll be up and running the way I want it to.
