Bag lady

I've just finished setting up my dreamaid shop with a few of the bags I've made for sale. I've been thinking of doing this for a while but only just tonight plucked up the courage to get on with it. I've only got 4 bags on so far but as time goes by I will add more bags and maybe some of my knitting and jewellery too.
As is typical for me and things computer related I didn't find it totally smooth running, I nearly ended up with two shops!!!!
Once I'd filled in my username, password etc it said my username was invalid. The only thing hubby and I could think was wrong was I had a space in it so I removed it and then clicked on the button to proceed again. This time I ended up on a blank page?????.
I thought ,well maybe it just takes a while to load, so I sat there for a few minutes....  but no... still blank.....(just like my mind I hear you say you cheeky things lol)  I tried clicking on the refresh button and got 'this webpage has expired'. Whoops not what I wanted either, so what now ?
Next I tried clicking the back button and was taken to the registration page again so I clicked to input my details again and this time it came up saying 'username already exists', 
Thats funny I thought, imagine two people wanting the name andiesaccessories, luckily at the same time I noticed at the top of the page it had options for me to click on for my account and log off.
I wondered if it had actually registered me when I was on the blank page and that andiesaccessories was mine, so I clicked on my account to see and yes there I was!! WAYHEY I'd done it and not realised. 
The first bag I tried to add didnt go well as I ended up losing it, I don't know how, but just as I was about to move onto adding photos I noticed a spelling mistake in the description and tried to click in the description box to alter the spelling but I ended up with the page dissapearing again. I must have taken too long or clicked on something I shouldn't to make it dissapear..
I quickly added the details again, I struggled to think of ways to describe them but eventually I had four bags added with photos Wooohooooooo
So now I am on another website and I've managed to do it by myself too, ok I had a few false starts but I managed it Go Annie Go Annie Go Annie (little victory dance from me lol.

  2. Well done - eventually. Hurry and get a piccy up cause if I go on Dreamaid I never click on any that just has that blank face thingy. I only click on the ones with the shop name or a piccy. A lot of people buy on Dreamaid and don't put an avatar up at all which is fine if you are not selling. Gotta stand out girl and get noticed
