Harman has been hard at work for the last week improving our product catalog.
In addition to adding a credit card gateway for the e-Xact / Versapay system, we've done a total redesign on how the products get configured for sale.
The

layout is much more intuitive and we've added the ability to manage and deliver digital goods.
We're creating a /private page, that will show private blog channels and product links.
This will enable site owners to create a product in the product catalog and configure how they want to deliver it to the end user.
The page will give access to a download link in the case of an ebook or other digital file that you want to deliver.
If the content is course ware or another multi-page item, private blog channels can be created to place video's and copy to create a series of pages only visible to the user once they've bought the product.
Look forward to these and some other changes in a new release early next week. [Less]

Here's how you can create a buy now button for products that you can put on other pages around the web.
Useful for adding a buy now button to a blog post or a web page on or even off site.

I have to admit that I'm really happy that we implemented the metaweblogAPI in XLsuite.
I'm posting this from ScribeFire, the blogging extension that is a firefox plugin.
I'm going to play with some other applications to make a list

of blogging platforms that work with XLsuite, but basically... anything that supports the MetaweblogAPI can post to XLsuite.

That is the post address that you simply plug into your blogging application, your user name and password is next... when you hit return it'll bring you back a list of the blogs that you've got set up on your domain.
It's a nice trick and gives you a lot more flexibility with how you can post to your XLsuite blog.
no clue why I put a fire truck here... just fiddling with the plugin that searches flickr from scribefire.
here we go grabbing youtube vids, nice!
Don't forget...

Tracking of course is pretty important when you own a domain name. Since Google has done such a good job with analytics and it's free, we recommend it as a way to see who's been visiting your website.
It's pretty easy to install and

set up the following video's give you a good overview of how to do it depending on the scenario you're in.
This first video shows you how to add it to a Suite that had the configuration on your dashboard. This is the case if you're running either the Livein template, the TribeXL template or one that has been built based on one of those (or has reused the dashboard elements... by the time you watch this there may be more suites using this configuration page as it's pretty slick).
This next one shows you how to install the "render analytics" snippet into your layout pages first, (this would be for a designer, or for someone using a suite that didn't have the analytics set up already in the layout.
Finally, this is how you set up domain specific analytics for multiple domains using the same layouts, but wanting to track different domains. In our case, we have both ViralListings.com and Virallisting.com rendering independently so we don't loose typo traffic.
As usual I welcome your comments and questions... please use the comments section below. [Less]
