zipper wrote:is it possible to remove images from the poems pages so its just text boxes? or how to have a title which loads a new page with its content so that text can be formatted with paragraphs and spaces, (is there a way to do this besides using the space bar lots of times, which might not work for different screen sizes?)
You mean you want TITLE+DESCRIPTION, but NOT the preview image? Go to the poems page in panel, settings -> gallery, remove the "preview" tag under ITEMS.
Of course, a small preview image will be helpful for the visitor to understand what they are clicking. So, if you are adding images to the child pages, I would recommend keeping the preview images. If not, you might consider a different gallery-layout altogether, for example "columns" ... Try it out - it will assemble items better.
zipper wrote:how would I begin with shopify? I'm guessing if a pop up window is used for shopify, the same principle could be used for fetchapp using a buy button to load up a new window where I could edit and work in HTML to create options for setting it up, like drop down menues etc, I will see how the two fit together,
I havent used Shopify myself unfortunately. You can certainly configure your products, and set up options ... doubt you would use HTML for that though, as they probably have an advanced interface for it. As mentioned earlier, this part is on the shopify-side of things anyway, and that's why its a good fit. I don't know what you can or cannot do with fetchapp ... my initial impression was that it was a service for intangible goods, but it may very will be capable.
Thank you! There really is no hocus pocus in regards to shopify ... Since release 0.17, we integrated a dynamic image link system in X3 that was flexible enough to work with many e-commerce systems, opening product pages in popup windows.

Wouldn't be too difficult. You could normally integrate a newsletter signup directly in an X3 page though, without having to use popup. For example using mailchimp.

, which would be a vast improvement and hopefully good news!
X2 was a Flash SPA (single page application), whereas X3 is a html5 application, with SEO optimized pages. Therefore, X3 is superior to X2 in terms of SEO. Although X3 is entirely SEO optimized, a large part of SEO is done externally, for example by making sure you have incoming links. There really isn't many SEO settings in X3 ... You just need to fill titles and descriptions properly, and use original text content.

Yes,
see example. In your page content editor, see the templates dropdown:
