:(ii did a fine job of working up a store with the software here. i searched this forum and picked 1and1 for my website. I uploaded it, but now i am stuck. 1and1 offers programs to build websites that will publish them, but i see no way to publish what i already have. help anyone?

Hi Alonzo. If you used the Shopping Cart Creator software, it has its own section for questions where you'll most likely get more views and help:

The Break Room questions are more likely to get overlooked as it's more of an "off-topic" chit chat category.
