WP e-Commerce, WordPress Plugin
The lite version of this plugin allows you to sell products via PayPal only. Whilst it’s called ‘lite’ it’s not that simple as such.

Grokdotcom analyzes a recent study revealing that people trust the recommendations of friends and family over bloggers and social networkers they see online. The opening line of the article is just right: “This may not come as a shock…” Indeed.
There’s value in networking online, but I think you find yourself doing it all wrong when you imagine you’re going to become some trusted voice in ...

You are Worth What you Say you are Worth
Really? Then double your rates today. Now. And then you’ll hear the chorus of internal doubting voices, telling you why you think you can’t get away with charging that kind of money.
What you make per hour, per ad, or per project is directly proportional to how much you value your own time, expertise, and contribution to your clients.

The plugin is called Scriptenabler – this link directly downloads the plugin’s zip file (there is no page on plugin page for this plugin on the author’s site). Thanks very much to Life After Coffee for posting about the plugin, and of course to Otto, the developer of the ...
