    This is exactly what I did to my wordpress and now I’m using it to manage my shop. It’s pretty cool. I list my items in posts and then I am free to link to them by categories or if I choose I can create pages with links to the individual items. I love using wordpress as a website.

    Hi David,

    I saw your blogsite and it is what i’m going for but I’m a little confused as to how to turn mine into the type that you have.
    I started mine at wordpress.com and bought a domain name but do i need to download the wordpress.org site modifier to use this or is the blog i started through wordpress.com fine to use? I think I’m just confused as to what the difference between the 2 sites is if I want to use it as a website.

    Any hep you could give would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Gavin, my tutorial looks at the WordPress software available from WordPress.org, upon which the WordPress.com service is based. I’m afraid though, that my instructions probably aren’t applicable for the WordPress.com service, or even the latest version of the WordPress.org software.
