Did you ever though that would be nice to have a blog in a Magento store?
The truth is you can have it.
It’s very simple. Once you upload the files to your magento installation (FTP) you’ll see a new tab called Blog.

When developing in Magento and playing arround with Magento Themes there is some functions you should know.
If you want to get the source url of an image, javascript or file, call one of this functions adding your own path at the end.
Under every function there is an example of the output value:
http://example.com/
<?php echo Mage::getBaseUrl(Mage_Core_Model_Store::URL_TYPE_WEB); ?>
http://example.com/js/
<?php echo Mage::getBaseUrl(Mage_Core_Model_Store::URL_TYPE_JS); ?>
http://example.com/index.php/
<?php echo Mage::getBaseUrl(Mage_Core_Model_Store::URL_TYPE_LINK); ?>
http://example.com/media/
<?php echo Mage::getBaseUrl(Mage_Core_Model_Store::URL_TYPE_MEDIA); ?>
http://example.com/skin/
<?php echo Mage::getBaseUrl(Mage_Core_Model_Store::URL_TYPE_SKIN); ?>

Do you want to remove the add to compare list in your Magento site?
There is only bad news to do that.
First of all there is no an easy-admin-button to turn it off. Yeah Magento rocks…
And of course you will have to to into some code. But don’t worry is quite simple.

We already saw how to remove the .html extension from Magento.
When you install Magento probably your URLs would be like:
- http://www.domain.com/index.php/about-us
There is an option to remove that index.php from the URL.
Go to your admin panel -> System -> General -> Web -> Search Engines Optimization.
Change Use Web Server Rewrites to Yes.
