Hello,

This is our summer civics project and newest online store: 
http://www.mlwebworks.com/dangerous

We're using our own home page to host the catalog & index page, an old 
postcard script from another project (c.1999) as a viral marketing tool, 
and cafepress for transaction processing and order fulfillment. This 
essentially cost us nothing but sweat to develop, which always makes it fun 
to work for a good cause!

The most interesting new thing I learned was how to make a scrolling table 
in CSS (simply prints out in older browser versions). Simply use <.div 
overflow: scroll;> attribute around a <.table> tag whose height & width is 
15 pixels less than the height & width of the div.

We thought that presenting our product catalog as a slide show/gallery, 
offering background information on each design gave our site the "museum 
store atmosphere" that would generate increased interest in our product 
line.  We hope  increased traffic will translate into higher referrals, 
subscriptions, sales, and ultimately, social change.
