    I have recently been building 2 new sites in Wordpress with wp-
    ecommerce. I can't believe how buggy wp-ecommerce is. I purchased the
    Gold Cart and that is buggy as well. It's been one problem after
    another, and one hack after another.. Their support is really
    bad...it's really unbelievable!
     
    My question: What shopping cart solutions do you folks like? I will
    never use wp-ecommerce again, period.

    Good morning!
     
    I am not an experienced programmer, just someone who likes designing.
     
    I am having an issue with my website. I wanted to make it iphone
    friendly so I just yesterday replaced the flash content (the top nav
    and the right nav bars) with alternate content using swfobject.
    However I am seeing some issues.
     
    Here is the website I maintain: http://www.tkd-boston.com
     
    The biggest issue - Using IE 8 / 9 (the only IEs I've tried) the right
    flash nav bar (Sidebar1) jumps out of it's container to the top of the
    page whenever I refresh or click another link on the page. (Doesn't do
    that in FF6). So far I have tried absolute positioning the top of
    Sidebar1, but then on refresh Sidebar1 jumps to the left. I've tried
    absolute positioning the side of Sidebar1, and this works - but then
    it isn't cohesive with the rest of the site, for example, when the
    rest of the site shifts over a few pixels when the browser is resized.
     
    This whole thing seems more obvious on a slow internet connection.
    Some people say they don't notice but I notice because I"m looking for
    it :(
     
    I feel like this might be an swfobject issue since the original Flash
    nav didn't shift before I added the alternate content swfobject code.
     
    Any ideas?
     
    Here is a screenshot of what it does during page transition / refresh:

    Thank you so much for your advice. :)

    Here is a little demo I made (between picking the kids up at school
    and eating lunch)

    By re-sizing the browser you can see the divs and images change size,

    Don't forget that if you are passing the 960px in width you are pushing an
    horizontal scroll bars on all smaller screens. I know there isn't that manu
    computers any more using them but the ipad are bringing this into fashion, i
    believe this is the resolution they are using.
    Pretty sure the mini laptops we are starting to see everywhere would be the
    same.
     
    Kind regards,
    Olivier

    Olivier,
     
    Out of curiosity, I checked my sample on Firefox, Chrome, and IE9 and
    as I narrowed the screen no scroll bars ever appeared in the
    horizontal plane. To my surprise, it actually displayed better in IE9
    than it did in Firefox. When I minimize the page down to 200 pixels
    wide, the divs stack up as designed:
     
    Header
    Left
    Content
    Right
    Footer

    Samanka,
     
    I would suggest that you take your traffic questions to marketing and
    SEO website forums such as highrankings.com. Do some Googling. This is
    not a one size fits all issue that can be answered in a sentence or two.
    Each website is different with different needs. Marketing and SEO is not
    something you learn overnight, it takes time and learning and continuing
    to stay current with the ever changing ways of doing things. You might
    want to take some online classes.
     
    As for your image problem - you didn't provide a link to the site with
    the problem nor did you explain what you're doing with adding the images
    to the site. There are a number of ways to add images in Wordpress and
    some ways depend on what plugin(s) you're using if you're using them or
    if you're not. Your questions are way to broad without nearly enough
    info for anyone to help you unless we're sitting at your computer next
    to you and can see what you're doing.

    Unless they're resurrected it, Google Page Rank hasn't worked in several
    years. Even Google themselves has said it's dead (since somewhere around
    or before 2009). I just checked for it on their website and I don't find
    it. If you have the toolbar installed, I would not count on it to be
    accurate.

    Besides, even if it did work Page Rank never was and still would not be
    as important as the conversion rate:
     
    A "conversion" is when a visitor does what you want them to do on your
    website. A conversion might be completing a purchase, signing up for a
    mailing list, or downloading a white paper. Your conversion rate is the
    percentage of visitors to your site who convert (perform a conversion).
    This is a perfect example of a metric that, unlike PageRank, is directly
    tied to your business goals. When users convert they're doing something
    that directly benefits your organization in a measurable way! Whereas
    your PageRank is both difficult to measure accurately (see above), and
    can go up or down without having any direct effect on your business.
     
    So, an online PR checker really isn't an effective tool either.
