"You wanna know how to get Capone? They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. *That’s* the *Chicago* way! And that’s how you get Capone. Now do you want to do that? Are you ready to do that? I’m offering you a deal. Do you want this deal?" – Sean Connery, The Untouchables

Magento Beginner’s Guide
Image by Guido Jansen via Flickr
Building an online store is not a walk in the park and I have developed a lot of them with osCommerce, ZenCart and even X-cart. Then I ran into Magento which has more potential than all three.
But that doesn’t mean it is necessarily the easiest software to use. Anything that runs smooth and looks good on the frontend does have a lot going on in the backend. And Magento does take some getting used to. And Magento’s Beginner’s Guide is a great place to start. While it won’t take you through all the complex procedures of building multiple store or using Magento’s API, it will show you how to get a store up and running. And it truly is a beginner’s guide, walking you through each step with annotated screenshots.
My Magento Bookmarks

It is still my plan to create a subdomain to host all of my posts on ecommerce. I have a lot of material. It is what I do most of the day. But for now, I will continue to put them here.
Magento is software for running an e-Commerce site. Yesterday I wrote a post on Magento for Search Engine Journal. I mentioned in that article that I had about 60 threads bookmarked in the forums. These threads really helped me modify 4 Magento installations. I also have a few bookmarks from elsewhere. Considering that the only book on developing for Magento leaves a lot up in the air, I figured I would write this post. It may help a few people.

This is what you should be doing.
Ignore the rest.
Of course, only if you are here for the same reason I am.
Did I just piss off some “natural and organic” internet denizens or what?
A note to them. The internet is made up of bits and bytes. There are people in behind them, but no matter how long you explore it, it is not going to be made out of granola and twigs.
Is this an explanation of why my posts have dropped off? Yes and no.
How to Create More Content for Your Products

How do I write about my products? I have built a lot of different sites for a lot of different people and this question always comes up. I’m not quite sure why. Some of these people had had brick and mortar stores for years But somehow when it comes to writing about their products, they draw a blank.
And I can understand that. Most people don’t like to write. And if that’s the issue, I can understand that. But don’t tell me you don’t have anything to say about your product.
Kansas City e-Commerce Job – Entry Level

We have too many products and all of our vendors just doubled their lines. First let me warn you, “entry level” means “entry level”. If you just can’t handle working at a convenience store, then apply. If you have a lot of education and experience, you will laugh.
