I'm not understanding how to add my content to zen cart. I know how to delete zencarts original content,but adding my own to the homepage or any additional page is a whole different matter. It's beginning to be very overwhelming to me. I am not all that familiar w/ html or php. Yet I'm starting to get the impression that the pages I build in VSD cant show up in zencart. (yes Im aware that sounds very silly.) I know someone out there has beem through this, please help!!!

Zen Cart and VSD should have nothing to do with each other. What are you trying to do? You add products, images and everything directly from Zen Cart scripts without using any other html.

First of all Tom thanks for the reply.What Im trying to do is start an online store.Now exactly when does WYSIWYG come in handy. Please tell me, (or any one else for that matter) what is the quickest way for me to be up and running so I can actually see some payoff for the time and money I've spent. Thats my main objective, "I want to be in business". I've been at this for about 3 months now and I feel thats more than enough time. I guess Im trying to keep my sanity, is it possible I can still benefit from the money I've spent on Coffe Cup software. I do take pride in the small work Iv'e accomplished as a true novice. Thanks!!!

Maybe you'd be better off if you asked ZenCart questions here:

Coffee C and Zen C are two different animals.
Zen is specifically for building and maintaining on on-line store.
It's not all that hard to down-load one of the many free skins and add products to it. Yes, you'll need to do a bit of hard coding within Zen, (your store name, etc) but they've done a fairly good job at making it sort of easy to do all that. Plus they have a good on-line forum to help.
Coffee C HTML, VSD and the others is used to make web sites - same but different. CC is not a store front - yet. A program is suppose to be coming (I'm in a hurry and wait mode for it myself).
However, you could make a store front today by integrating Paypal into Coffee C. and using their shopping cart and check out. Again, it means working in an bit HTML/php world. But it can be done and it's not that hard either.
If your looking for a wysiwyg shopping cart program, CC isn't it and neither is Zen, there probably is one or two or three out there, I just don't know who or what and it probably would cost a fair amount cash.
Many people have made store fronts using the CC programs. But they've had to integrated some other shopping cart program for the ordering and check out. It can be done, but you've either got to learn a bit of html/php or hire someone.
Probably not the answer your looking for.
but that's my story
