That seemed like a very clever fix. I was able to update my profile! Thanks!
Gail
I also noticed that jewellers who have recently joined have HAD to click on one of these options.
Just wanted to let you know that was happening.
Gail
Thanks for your message. I was not sure where to post news. (It would be so nice to have a section for member's news in each profile!!!). Also, may I ask you why you deleted it without telling me first- or why you did'nt transfer it directly to the forum? Now if I want to post it I have to re-write it and find the pic again.... oh well, beside that I think the site is quite nice!
All the best, Claudio
I'm glad the workshop helped you, post any of your questions Robin, Scott or myself will answer them for you.

I really enjoyed the workshop and has opened up my eyes to newer possibilities that suit my needs.
I have yet to check out shopify and Canadian Jeweller's site, but am excited to do so and am sure I will have lots of questions afterwards :D Also, will be telling all my fellow students about the eCommerce workshop tomorrow.
