The month that was...The Museum of Everything: Exhibition #3
The Museum of Everything returns with Exhibition #3 – an entirely new assembly of creations, artefacts and ephemera by the unknown artists of society.

My only shame is existing in ignorance – to this point.

Learning Magento: Advice for Newbie Developers
Learning to develop Magento is tough, be under no disillusion! Magento is a complex beast and unlike many other open source platforms, it’s absolutely massive, with an obscene number of tables, lots of files and plenty going on with each page request!
