Converting these to CSS allows the Search Engines to index more information on the product pages. This article will tell you how to do that and improve the Search Engine friendliness of your Magento site!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Adding and removing javascript and css is handled separately within Magento. CSS is added in the usual fashion, where you have a &#60;link rel="stylesheet"... /&#62;. However, any included javascript (unless linked to "by hand" from a theme's skin) is pulled via a php files which reads through the "js" folder in the root directory (<strong>root/js/index.php</strong> is responsible for this).

That is all well and good for Magento. The real question is how we, as developers, add these items when we need them. How you as a developer add css or javascript is, luckily, handled the same.

In this post, we will show how to add and remove javascript and css to a CMS page (and anywhere else) that you may need.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi All -
Finally time for a new post! (Something I'm surprised I haven't covered yet).
This post will inform you on how to run Magento code outside of Magento. All you need is to have access to Magento's '<strong>app/Mage.php</strong>' file.

This will be handy code for a few things:
<ul>
	<li>Integration with 3rd party items - shared sessions, or just shared themes</li>
	<li>Ajax calls - although not the preferred solutions for Ajax calls, it is a quick and easy one</li>
</ul>]]></description>

I noticed they are pretty universal in how they grab, filter and return a product collection to be used in various template files (.phtml files). The blocks below should all work from List.phtml (<strong>app\design\frontend\default\default\template\catalog\product\list.phtml</strong>).]]></description>

Some discussion on breadcrumbs: I will be overriding the Core file: app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Block/Breadcrumbs.php (which I will call [Breadcrumbs-B]). This file is not to be confused with the block: app/code/core/Mage/Page/Block/Html/Breadcrumbs.php (which I will call [Breadcrumbs-A]).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Part of customizing Magento is, of course, creating custom Modules. These allow you to inject functionality anywhere, whether in a "static" block fashion that's more than static, or a shipping/payment module, or large module to do something as large as integrating a 3rd party system (or multiple systems).

There are many things custom Modules can do, from editing your Database, to handling module upgrades to overriding classes (Blocks, Controllers, Models) ... and more!]]></description>
