    I ditched websitebuilderplus - and moved to a wordpress based blog, forum and additional pages.... Still considering adding a book review section and hopefully being an amazon affiliate.... Rather than being a direct seller of books. Considering putting together coaching packages with a choice of a paypal cart and a googlecart..... So advice re that would be helpful.... (no rush)
