I also use Dreamweaver, but I think your site itself would be no use 
to me, as I would put it all in my commercial grade e-store 
(unpublished right now).  However, I'm in no position to make such a 
big purchase, or take a gamble with $5k to $10k of gadgets.

CoCo3.com actually has survived through the years off of either the 
occasional donation or sales of my software, or just out of my 
pocket.  CoCo3.com is not a real profit making site like Cloud-9 
(although I have no proof that they make a considerable profit), but 
if I had an inventory of CoCo stuff, I'm sure it would sell like 
hotcakes.  Yes, it would be the place to do such a thing, but my time 
usually goes into creating software which either has no shipping at 
all through online registration, or cheap mailer postage.  Since I 
also work a demanding job, I have to find ways to reduce my overhead 
of doing CoCo business.

If I hosted your site pages, I'm sure you'll see lots of sales almost 
instantly.  Give it some thought.
