    Cupcake Liners ?

    I found a place that sells cupcake liners, but they didn't have brown ones, and told me they never did. However, they told that the name they go for here is "pirotines" or "moldes para muffins" or "moldes para magdalenas". Good luck in your search.

    Selling books...?

    my experience with joomla is sort of limited, i've made only 2 sites using that (the other sites i've made are on html). I can tell you from what i've read that it has some good SEO (search engine optimization) features, but i haven't tried looking into them. As to working your site, you have to...

    Selling books...?

    I liked your web page more than the blog. The software you're using to make it (joomla) will allow you to show them in several categories. This is easier to browse than the blog.
