SSL/HTTPS for Shopp pages or checkout process only
Shopp currently doesn't redirect you to any SSL/HTTPS pages during any part of the checkout process. Technically, if you are using a 3rd party payment provider, it doesn't need to, but I'd like customers name/address data to be encrypted and secure.
So we need to force SSL on specific pages.
Remove Shopp Javascript from non-Shopp pages
Following on from a post on the Shopp forum regarding this, a few people are having issues with the Shopp scripts conflicting with some other plugins.

Also good practice to keep page load times down to a minimum.
CubeCart 5.0 Relased Today!
The long awaited CubeCart 5 has been released today. I was getting worried as it was long over due but based on the RC releases, its been worth the wait!

New Site: Majestik Art
Majestik Art approached me wanting a central hub for their numerous profiles on different social networking sites across the web.

WordPress function remove_menu_page
WordPress is now being used more and more for a full site CMS and the "Links" or "Blog Roll" is pretty much redundant now. People seem to be going to great lengths to remove this from the WP admin page. I've seen people use Role Manager plugins, wierdo so called "CMS" plugins and plugins specific to removing the "Links" link.
