Help Me Launch My New Book!
Although my website sales page WAS broken (thanks universe), my brother-in-law, Gary helped me figure out the issue. Which really means Gary figured it out, but I have spent the entire afternoon days on this computer fixing the issues. So now, dear friends, it is ready to go! New plugin, check. Setup, check.
