    Hi Gang! I'm in the midst of building and preparing to launch my
    first website, using Macromedia's Dreamweaver, and am wondering if
    any of you could offer some advice on the use and implementation of
    'shopping carts'. The whole gamut of e-commerce is a new "onion" to
    me -- I've made sales via contacts I've made here and on other
    listservs I contribute to (or mentor for), but have never gone whole
    hog into it, as I'm about to -- and the learning curve's a bit
    steeper than I'd anticipated. At present, the only payment vehicle I
    have is Paypal, and while I've heard that they offer a shopping cart
    (or someone else does, as an applet), I don't have any experience
    with it or any other, for that matter. Can anyone out there offer a
    pointer (or three) on how to mount and use these? Or, for that
    matter, are there other routes you've used which have worked as well
    and have been as easy on the potential customer's shopping
    experience? For what it's worth, I'll be offering several different
    product lines on the site (which will be at <www.turetdesign.com>,
    hopefully starting in early December), and so am also wondering if,
    in similar cases, those of you who have e-commerce sites
    up-and-running use any sort of software to departmentalize and
    monitor the relative successes of each line offered. Thanks, in
    advance, for whatever insights you can offer me on this! 

All my best,
Douglas Turet
