Latest news: (31-8-23) The test database has now been finished and has been upladed to the site. It took way longer than I thought it would to convert our Microsoft Access database to a MariaDB. As I had never used the MariaDB before and always had the data completely seperate from the web site. Now the data will be relational and up to date at all times! (LOL, yeah right :-) The idea being that when we only have 1 copy of something and it sells the database should update in real time. Now, I just have to get the .html pages & .php pages to talk to it! I am using Dreamweaver 21.3 which seems very powerfull and much more advanced than Microsoft Front Page, but it seems to have enouph similarities that I can at least understand a bit of what is going on. This whole site has been built on Dreamweaver and  I am very happy with it, so far! I'll keep you posted.

(10-8-23) The e-Commerce test web pages are now in production. My testing section is on the FAQ page. It's not very intesting yet, but you are more than welcome to follow along with my progress. The relational data base set up and testing is going REALLLLLLLY slow, Day 2 of something I thought would take maybe an hour at maximum. (endded up taking 21 Days)

(5-8-23) The CGC comics page has been updated with all the CGC comics currently available in stock. I will be working on the prices and information page template soon.       

(3-8-23) The website redesign is UP! It's still very much a test beta version, but I have now loaded an SSL so that https://thecomicshop.com.au will be a secure site. I am still wondering how I can get traffic to only go to the secure site rather than www.thecomicshop.com.au or thecomicshop.com.au but I'll do some reaserch on that one. Let me know if you have any suggestions! The contacts page form now works as well. so if you are reading this drop me a line and let me know.

(2-8-23) The website re-build is happening! I am spending about 3 days a week on the upgrade. The first few pages are in the template stage and should go online this week, hopefully on Thursday 3 August 2023. The hosting issue is now fixed, you may have noticed that we have been offline for a while. The controls for the site are now completely different and although I am sure I can do much more on the new hosting platform, working out how to do everything is a challenge. I will be working to get the https security message that comes up on all the web browsers removed, and the CGC comics listed and then incorporate ecommerce and the database. More web site news soon.
