After a lot of work, the site is now SSL/https secure

The shopping cart has always been secure, but some people got warnings when they went to nortonmusc.com so I decided to get SSL. It took six days of being a virtual ping-pong ball between my web host and DigiCert, but it's done.

If you have a nortonmusic.com link please edit it so an S appears between the http and the colon - https://www.nortonmusic.com

Thanks
