    The last thing I want to do is hurt your feelings. However, the big
    question here seems to be, "do you want to make any money or not?".
    A website is good for 2 things. The first is having something out
    there to show your friends. The second is to make money. If you don't
    meet the needs and wants of your potential customers, you will not
    make money. There's just no fuzzy area in there. Make what the
    customer wants and let the income that comes in from that finance
    your ability to pay bills and make the things that you want. The
    girls next door may be stringing beads, but they're also making money
    at it. If they weren't, they wouldn't be doing it. 

Good Luck
Kim Starbard
