A quick sneak peak at some bloated over engineering.
SlackCommerce is a wordpress plugin that allows you to generate paypal encrypted web payment stuffe from products you manage on your own wordpress site, sort of a happy way of doing paypal ecommerce without having to wade through paypal's site, and it logs orders and so on.
I didn't add anything fancy at all, but it works and is fairly straightforward to use (there's a little wizard to get you set up). You'll need a) wordpress b) a paypal account c) a server with php compiled with openssl (which is pretty common - there's a half arsed attempt to get it working by exec'ing openssl, but that would
require uploading files and all sorts of stuff) - just unzip the file, stick it in wp-content/plugins, activate it from the plugins menu in the admin panel and it will create a menu under Options. I do plan to support shopping carts and download based fulfilment in the next version, which will make it a bit more useful, at which point I'll probably do a nicer page that with instructions and everything. Keep it dodgy.

A quick update...
something slightly dodgy...
For tiling web backgrounds a bit of javascript to keep a content area at a multiple of pixel widths in this case 128 pixels...
DODGYNESSI didn't get round to using and cleaning this up so its more proof of concept, but obviously using it with a tiled background would be better!
