Okay, so I'm like the worst and having websites EVER. lol... This site is a mess, I know...
Well, since I'm brekaing form IMVU *again* if anyone wants to know what's-up-with-me, you can check out my blog. It's hsoted on the Marionette Boutique site, which has problems beyond problems, but the blog is fine. ;D So check it out! |

Going Doooooooooown |

I'll probably be moving the site today. Well, replacing this part with the new site. There's gonna be some broken product links probably and lots of other broken crap, but I'm working on moving the content so it will *HOPEFULLY* be a smooth transition. Anyone who has signed up will have to sign up again because I'm switching databases and stuff. Anyway, yeah. Back to work. |

Marionette "boutique" update |
|
|
The more I think about this, the more I change my mind about how all this will work. I've now decided that rather than have lots of different categories like the IMVU website, I'll do a sort of mall type thing. So I would have a little shop for hair or gothloli clothing or swimwear or intimates. Of course, the non-pro dev will still be the highlight and the stores will only feature the best. :) So I guess now I'm going to spend some time designing these shops before I start gather products for them, though I have contacted a couple people about it. There is the possibility that I will stick with the category options but also allow the seperate stores. That way there's even more possibility for buyers to see more items. |

Complete Overhaul |
|
|
It is my belief that the expansion of this website requires something more. While I worked hard on this layout and it worked perfectly for several months, it's time to move on to something else so I can better accomodate (sp?) the other users I w ould like to bring into this site. I feel that the compressed space I have to work in is too small, sometimes I feel like maybe this CMS isn't the "right" one, but I don't know what all will go down. =D I may end up moving to the dreaded PHP nuke or something. >> Or maybe I will create a new site all together. Maybe I'll scratch this whole idea and stick with what I've got. ;D rofl... Okay, so anyway, over the next few days, there's gonna be some big changes to get ready for people to be able to sign up and submit products when I permit them to. Be on the look out~ |

Good news for devs! |
|
I've mentioned in the past that I want to do something to help other developers promote their products. While I was looking through the information on boutiques AND oogling over the "add all these products to IMVU cart" link, all my ideas suddenly came together. Welcome to the future site of high quality designs from the "unseen." There are tons of non-pro devs out there who aren't getting enough exposure, yet their products are exceptional. At first I was simply thinging advertising, but after today I realized that there's a possibility that I could set up this page as a mini-catalogue. It's been nearly 5 months since I've conceived the idea of an offsite catalogue for my IMVU products, and now I think it's time to open the doors to other developers. Since the boutique setup gives me 5% from sales, I feel that I will be able to offer this service for free. Just remember to have a link up. ;D Plus, if people bookmark this site, they'll still be able to look through products when the IMVU site is down.
So what does everyone think of this idea? *if anyone even reads this e.e* Also note that I may have to move this site if there's a real strain on this server's DB... but I don't think it will be a problem. |
