I am a big fan of web marketing and making money online. I remember purchasing the work from home magazines when I was a kid and always dreamed of MLM in my spare time. Never got anywhere with any of it. But I have learned quite a bit over the years. I have learned that I am not a good sales man. I actually have a conscience. One trait a salesman cannot have is a good conscience. Oh well, one of the hallmarks of getting your blog noticed by the search engines is Ping Services. I am compiling lists from various places in this post. 1. To help others. 2. For my self when setting up new blogs for me or my clients.
Heres the list!

We recently started building a shopping cart for a candy company and had initially decided to go with ZenCart. I have used ZenCart many times, but usually just purchased a template and did a little bit of customization and hit the road running.
This time however, there was not a premade template that would even come close to what was needed for the site. So coincidentally speaking with a friend, rechols, he mentioned Magento. I had never heard of it before so I decided to check it out.
I was immediately impressed with the tutorials on creating templates on their site. It is very thorough and is a great start on how to create, modify and use their templating system. Their system is well thought out, but it is still pretty complicated.
We will see how converting my HTML template over to Magento works out. Layout is definitely NOT my thing. So I am not expecting it to go too well! I have documentation to follow, so if it doesn’t turn out right it is my fault!
