Yesterday's Project

"I will allow users to buy my products quickly and effortlessly by modifying the existing shopping cart template at origami.ai-nation.net.

• Make products & process obvious
• Remove registration hassles"

I've spent all day wrestling with two templates, trying to merge them. Finally succeeded and brought Google Adwords back up.

I'm gonna go over the process one last time tonight to see what needs to be done tomorrow. Then I'll include this blog in the site navi.

Why a blog?

At a SXSW panel awhile back, four things were highlighted that a web site should do:

• Support social interaction
• Encourage user participation
• Enhance user experience
• Open data

I've turned these into goals for Origami Central. Hope you like ;)
