Absolutely rubbish day

Today has been the day from hell. My website just seems to go from one problem to another. I used to have a nice cheap pay monthly site. It didn't look too good but it was functional. I listed quite well in Google, I got quite a few visitors and even made several sales. But being greedy I wanted more. So I went to a bigish company and asked them to develop me a new all beautiful site. Which they did using zen cart. This system seems to be the biggest piece of crap I have ever seen it just seems to be one problem after another. User friendly it is not. For everything I thought I should be able to do myself I was told that will be additional development. I am now seeking a refund or an amazing fix to sort it all out. As I now don't have any google listings, many visitors and even fewer sales. I am relying on my sales from craft fairs which are always quite good but I wanted a working website too even if only as a showroom.

Anyway rant over.

Day one blogg one

Introductions first, I'm Jo and this is my new blogg. I am closing in on the big 40 with two teenage monsters to my name. One living on her own 300 miles away, always on the phone with one problem or another but I love her to bits. The other still at home, this one a boy child never tidies anything up and always after a cash handout but also much loved. I have a wonderful fiance (got engage in January). I work full time in the boring hum drum day job. I love making silver jewellery which I sell through my website and at craft fairs. New for this year, I thought I would take the hassle out of looking for good fairs to attend, so set up my new venture running my own fairs with the help of the afore mentioned fiance. As you can see I don't get a lot of free time and I am going greyer by the day. But life is for living and if I didn't do all these things I would just be bored wouldn't I.
