Server back up to speed
Wow, our shopping cart server was crawling yesterday. I keep the cart hosted with a different server from Acne Vitamins (easier for security reasons), so the main site was loading fast enough, but I apologize to anyone who wasn’t able to order for half the day due to the cart simply not loading thanks to Netfirms. These occasions are few and far between, but since Netfirms is so big, when they do a server update it seems to take forever. Everything is back up to speed now and there shouldn’t be any problems. I would like to remind PayPal users that, when checking out, to make sure that you come back to our confirmation page from PayPal. PayPal automatically forwards you to the Acne Vitamins confirmation page (the PayPal confirmation page states this), but some users just close the window instantly. The sale will go through either way, it’s just that you lose out on the invoice from our shopping cart if you leave before it is finalized.
In other news, my green tea acne article is finally up over at EzineArticles.com (visit the health>acne section). They seem to be taking longer and longer to get articles reviewed these days, and then they update in large batches, so I may be down on the second page even though they just put the article up. If you would like to know more about the benefits of green tea for acne sufferers, it’s worth a read. The payment options I mentioned last week are also fully functional now (as you could probably guess from the new credit card graphics). So Acne Vitamins now accepts American Express and Discover cards in addition to Visa, MasterCard and PayPal.
