Spent most of today back on bandzoogle figuring out the intricacies of setting up pages, graphics, etc. One of the challenges was in trying to get the site to import my entire 30-post collection from blogger.com. It stopped at the most recent 25; there was no indication of a setting on either site restricting the number of imported posts, and a help message to bandzoogle was met with the online equivalent of shrugged shoulders.
An effective workaround was exporting all posts to a secondary blog, eliminating all but the five oldest posts on that secondary blog, and then importing the remaining content of that secondary blog (the five oldest posts) into bandzoogle. I'm hoping bandzoogle automatically picks up this next entry as well.
One great feature of bandzoogle is functionality for selling merchandise - including an arrangement with an on-demand fulfillment center that appears to allow for realtime printing and shipping of orders on an individual basis - so that there is no inventory requirement. I'm now stuck in the resulting nightmare of trying to determine how to calculate and satisfy any sales tax collection and reporting obligations; I'm hoping an email to my accountant will result in a favorable response in the morning...
