In order to use WordPress as an online store, the standard blog layout simply will not do the job. I’m imagining a really stripped down grid affair, with no advertising from Google or Amazon, because that would look really unprofessional.

I’m hoping it will be possible to kick a WordPress theme into shape in order to use it as a store. Not that I’ve found much evidence to support this yet, apart from a vaguely remembered website promising to make WordPress do things it’s creators never envisaged…

More research and theme hacking is about to be undertaken I imagine.
