 * Ok, I have a wordpress blog and i am turning into a shop.
 * Firstly I have wordpress direct. Is this the best wordpress for this? I started
   using WPD online and saw today that I can download wordpress…..
    I dont want 
   to do this incase it conflicts with my current WPD account. What is the purpose
   of the download?
 * My main problem is that I don’t know the best way to put all the products on 
   my site. I thought of posting them all but now I don’t know how to make the page
   different than the post. I dont want all the buy buttons on each individual post,
   I just want them on the page once you click the subject. A more succinct way 
   of putting this is – How do you post something but specify what is shown on the
   post and what is shown on the page.
 * Lastly (I promise) I have tried to put an image in my post via the ‘from URL’
   function. When I enter the URL into the relevant box a tick appears on the left
   hand side, but when I enter the image title the red cross doesn’t change. I have
   tried putting in just a single letter and but it still doesn’t work.
 * Any info on any of this will be greatly appreciated.
 * Alex

 * Do you mean: [http://www.wpdirect.com/](http://www.wpdirect.com/)
 * There are several ecommerce plugins out there, and they tend to do things slightly
   differently. eShop for example adds an area to a post/page where you can attach
   product info. but they can be listed on the one page.
 * Can we have a link to a page with the image issue?
