“When it comes to making a book like this, keep in mind that progress isn’t linear.
It’s more like a dance back and forth through the pages.”

Wow, Mixy,it seems you and I are very alike in our thinking. I’ve been mulling over how to add a shop to my site. What you’ve done is what I’ve been thinking on. It’s really nice, very well done.
