Hi, Two or three months ago I read a really interesting series of blog articles about the development of a Rails-driven web store. One in particular that I wanted to go back and re-read talked about having multiple "catalogs" of products, so that a new set of products could be added over time in a new catalog, and when the time came the store could switch over to that catalog to make all the new products go live. Of course, I didn''t bookmark the site, and I''ve just spent an annoying few hours searching google for things like "ruby rails store OR ecommerce OR shop catalog OR catalogue products" to no avail. Can anyone put me out of my misery and point me to the site? Many thanks, Jon

I was beginning to give up hope of ever finding it. :) The specific article I was describing in my description above was this one: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/6290 Thanks again, Jon

Justin has just pointed out correctly that it was the CD Baby blog at oreillynet I was thinking of. The Oakland Cutlery posts have also been quite useful to me though. Thanks, Jon
