Well, I’m happy to report that, as of a few minutes ago, our Rod and Staff site is once again operational. That is, for the first time in 13 days, it properly and completely processed an order. I need to do more testing, but we seem to have crossed a huge, huge milestone.

Now I need to get our Anabaptist Bookstore site and the sister Rod and Staff Canadian site fixed as well.

Many thanks to God and DaveG (the programmer behind the ecommerce software I use)!

Since the wee hours of Friday, January 14, 2011, this site has been partially broken. However, you can still place an order.

But be forewarned: it will appear that it hasn’t gone through and at the end you’ll get an error message that includes this ominous-sounding line:

As soon as possible after that, I will reconstruct your order and email it to you with payment instructions.

Update: Fully Operational Again!
