Post Having trouble getting product pages to appear 
I'm very new to this. I've made static HTML/CSS web pages many many times before, but this is my first experience working with a shopping cart application, thank you for your patience!

The URL is http://www.bellartwork.com/shop . I have added products to the "3d" category, but the product pages aren't there when I click on the category link to view it.

I'd be so grateful if someone could give me a link to an easy tutorial or explain what I need to do to get this thing up and running. Thank you so much in advance!

It's kinda obvious that you have NOT completed the setup of the store manager since I get a blank, white page when I try to access your products.... I am assuming that you are using v5?
FIRST MANAGERS TO SET UP BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE IN THE STORE:
1. Primary/Core Settings
2. Store Template-Headers/Footers (There are 5 buttons on this page, you need to click all of them)
3. Store Design-CSS Editor
4. Store Design-Misc Settings
5. Tax Settings: Set "Enable Non-Taxable Products" to "No"
6. Shipping Settings: Set "Use Alternate Origins" to "No" Set "Enable Dimensions in Product Database?" to "No"

You need to put your web design in to the templating headers and footers.
This post should help:

Also, take a bit of time to check out the default headers & footers that came with the cart.
There are many dynamic features in these files that do things like:
dynamically display the product categories based on what categories are defined in the database,
display a featured product
display a running subtotal of what is in the customer's shopping cart

You can find these headers/footers in the 'html/html-templates/templates/TheAgora' directory.
Hopefully, you haven't overwritten those...
You did, however override the default index file, which had dynamic coding to automatically display 4 random products from the database, in a "What's in our Store" feature...
Or else you ran an upgrade... BTW, take a look at that file, too... It has instructions from proper linking in the store...

HTH!

Post Thank you! 
Alright thank you so much! I thought I'd already done all the basic set-up but I guess not, thanks for letting me know!
