yeah i'm not sure if i'm doing the right thing i just wasn't sure how to start

1. i created a new database, then imported the old database to it
2. then i uploaded the 1.3.9 verions of zencart into a new directory
3. then i moved the 2. configure files to the new site and changed the database info on them
4. upgraded the database
3. picked up and installed a new template that i like the layout for, but will completly customize to suit my needs later.
4. started installing mods onto the new site (tons of merging as most of the mods i want aren't listed as 1.3.9 compatible)
5. i'm now in my 25th mod install and it looks like i have a dozen more to go before i can start customizing everything.
