How to make WordPress an Ecommerce Store

Ecommerce Plugin For WordPress
WordPress is continuing to improve it’s functionality. For those of you who have WordPress blogs and want to sell a few items directly from your blog and you don’t want to worry about logging into PayPal and creating a PayPal button for every item you have, this Ecommerce plugin is the answer for you.

I have worked with a lot of people getting their WordPress websites ready for launching and so many of them would have been thrilled to know about this Ecommerce plugin that is now available for use. There is even a full video tutorial on how to turn WordPress blogs into Ecommerce sites. You can easily learn how to use this plugin by watching this video. You download the plugin and then basically fill in a form that allows you to add your products and your PayPal information.

Download the plug-in and turn your WordPress site into an ecommerce site.

Reflections
I recently discovered how how enjoyable it is to watch www.wordpress.tv. I like to work on the computer and listen to something in the background other than television so I feel I’m learning something new. I was delighted to listen to Tim Ferriss talk about all his well researched analytics on what works best on blogs and had a great time laughing at his funny video on how to peel a hard-boiled egg without peeling it the traditional way.

I also can’t get over how the young people in this world are the ones who are shaping everything on the Internet. Matt Mullenweg, a co-founder of WordPress, was only 19 years old when he and Mike Little developed the software for WordPress.  He  posted  programming questions on his blog and was contacted by Mike Little in England who offered to partner with him to work on his vision of WordPress. WordPress has become so popular that there are people who have WordPress tattoos!

MySpace, Facebook, Twitter…they are all being developed by people who were toddlers when computers were being perfected. Matt Mullenweg was listed by PC World as one of the top 50 most influential people on the Internet.

WordPress is my favorite platform to use. I’m not getting a tattoo, but I certainly enjoy using this software.  Thank you Matt!
