Edit Store Front no longer working

[ Edited ]

Sorry, I thought what I typed in the message remained!? I have my original OLD store front.

As I add new books I renumber them to put latest as the first books.

I did this I think in December 2010....now when I click to edit, I pop over to Connect.

HAS the OLD version of the store front been abandoned?

IF I CONVERT to the new version, will I loose my old URL - lulu.com/sedunaway

Thanks for updating the question.
My understanding is that those who have a storefornt can continue to edit an update it.
New Lulu'ers will have a Spotlight rather than the old Storefront.
In the future there will be an opportunity to transfer the old to the new.
Perhaps Nick will clarify this for us as I know he was investigating the subject.

After some investigation I have found  out how to create a Spotlight for an existing author. I don't if this was publicised previously and if it was then I missed it so apologies if that is the case.

From the your My Lulu page enter the following URL in your browser window
http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/newauthor/
This will then create a new Spotlight for you. Once you have finished editing it then return to your My Lulu page and the name and link to the old Storefront will have been replaced with the new Spotlight.
Quite nifty actually :smileyvery-happy:

Ken is quite correct on all counts, I believe.

Not finding a link to my store at all.

Getting alarmed. Surely this function has not been secretly deleted.

Please help.  Want to post link to store on website, not merely link to each book.

Re: Edit Store Front no longer working

greatshalom,
While logged into your account, there should be a link on the left-hand side of the page that says "My Storefront". Click on that and it should take you there.
