		<title>New digs:</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For those few souls who have found this blog on a google search about Magento, I&#8217;ve decided to uproot my posting in favor of a blog on the Magento Forum itself. I also created a resource site elsewhere, at PBWorks.com Here are the URLs for those: group/blog@ Magento: http://www.magentocommerce.com/group/view/450 wiki@ PBWorks: http://magento4noobs.pbworks.com I *may* post <a href='http://www.tiseducational.com/?p=57'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<title>Back at it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[OK, so after a month long hiatus (I work freelance, so I take gigs as they come) I&#8217;m back on Magento. So let&#8217;s see if I can&#8217;t get further along over the next few days. The goal for now is to populate the catalog with some new categories and products, and then export these via <a href='http://www.tiseducational.com/?p=51'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<title>The color of exasperation is magento</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My browser crashed just now, and in so doing wiped a particularly vitriolic post about the missed opportunity that is Magento&#8217;s position in the market. For all the talk of &#8220;Community&#8221;, Varien is not interested in small businesses with limited budgets, and has basically hung out to dry the long tail of budding entrepreneurs with <a href='http://www.tiseducational.com/?p=47'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<title>Exasperation, I know thy name, and it is: Magento.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know enough about exactly what market Magento is trying to satisfy. Given their hosting plans (ie the way they actually make money, as the Community Edition is free) start at over $10,000 per year, I don&#8217;t think Magento really cares about individuals (ie small businesses). Because their software seems well designed (thanks to <a href='http://www.tiseducational.com/?p=44'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<title>Step 1: dummy catalog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I am on the fence whether I should use the existing sample products catalog that is already in Magento, or whether I should create another catalog, more or less of the style of the real one I am still creating (I am aiming for a tshirt shop with multiple slogans, shirt styles, colors, and <a href='http://www.tiseducational.com/?p=42'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<title>Questions Before I Start</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t yet nailed down my catalog, but it&#8217;ll consist of somewhere between 15-30 slogans, each of which will be available across a number of garment styles (from 1 to 8, depending on popularity), each of which will be available on more than one color. And for each slogan/style/color, there will be a number of <a href='http://www.tiseducational.com/?p=34'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<title>Day 2 &#8211; Goals, Timelines, Strategies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The main reason for choosing Magento is its ability to power multiple URLs, with a common shopping cart and cross-promotional abilities. I&#8217;ve got a series of tshirt websites I want to cluster, so this is huge. I understand that there is a way, using Javascript, to be able to show product variants by coupling a <a href='http://www.tiseducational.com/?p=29'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<title>Day 1 &#8211; Magento Installation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not sure whether version 1.4 is stable enough for a production site, it *seems* to be. But there are several modules and themes that don&#8217;t seem to be yet compatible with 1.4. At any rate, I installed Magento yesterday, so I can&#8217;t do a real time step by step with pics. But, I&#8217;ll recall <a href='http://www.tiseducational.com/?p=27'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<title>Day 0 &#8211; Magento or ZenCart?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, here is the beginning of what promises to be one hell of a long ride. Being of the short attention-spanned variety, I have my doubts as to whether I will actually finish this installation anytime soon. The goal is a fully configured, customized installation of an ecommerce application. I have had some familiarity with <a href='http://www.tiseducational.com/?p=22'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<title>How to password-protect a category in WordPress (one hacky method)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Caveat Emptor: I&#8217;ve never actually done this method, I am merely documenting the hypothetical method because I will one day need to do this and I have a bad memory Like&#160;many WordPress users, I would like to be able to password protect an entire category.
