Starting a New Site (a slow coming How-To)
I'm starting a thread here to document my mods to a new site I am building and to solicit any advice or work I should be doing as I go. There are lots of smart people around here, so I would appreciate all of your suggestions.
Maybe some newbies will be able to use this as a guideline by the time I am done.
Site = 3.5.7
Installed to Web Root Directory
Changed default SALT codes and fixed up admin p/w
Changed default customer, admin and provider dir names via top.inc.php
Upgraded Smarty Template Engine to 2.6.2
RETURNED TO 2.5.0, bug problems
Changed index.php to header redirect to catalog/index.html
Edit copyright.tpl
Add Update button on every product line in the shopping cart
Hack ALT image tag for keyword density
Get rid of the product ID # on the detailed product page.
Cleanup Checkout Screen
Optimise Page Title Text (removes spaces etc.)
Optimise Page Title Text Part 2 (for Search Engines)
Log IP Numbers in both Orders AND registration (a must if you ask me)
Disable tracking statistics for site speed increase
