In my pursuit to make Avalanche the best supported premium Magento theme in the industry, I’m pleased to announce the launch of Fast Division Help. You’ll find any question you might have regarding Magento themes, customization, issues/bugs, and much more answered all in one spot. It’s one of many new projects aimed to take Fast Division support to the next level.
To get started I wrote some in-depth guides to the most common Avalanche questions. Integration guides for One Step Checkout, Amasty, and aheadWorks extensions are on their way. I’m also working on a live, filterable index for the most commonly edited Magento templates. My goal is to make everything in Avalanche truly do-it-yourself with minimal effort!

Magento is an incredible platform because it does more than any other eCommerce system. Just look at Magento Connect. There’s thousands of extensions to choose from within a thriving ecosystem of passionate developers.

Luckily most of these issues can be resolved quickly if you learn where to look and how to make minor tweaks. In this article I’ll show you what to do.

As social media continues to grow in popularity it’s more important than ever for your Magento store to get social. Facebook is a great source for new leads and referrals. Google is now integrating their search results with their own social network, Google+. Twitter brings viral marketing to the next level with real-time discussion. If you haven’t jumped on the bandwagon yet now is the perfect time! By the way, our premium Magento theme comes with social media buttons straight out of the box.
When it comes to Magento extensions for social media buttons such as Facebook Like there’s a huge variety of solutions both free and paid available on Magento Connect. However, if you’re interested in learning more about how Magento works this is a fantastic DIY starter project. I’m going to show you how to create new template files and append them to existing blocks using layout XML. This should give you some insight on how to add new services and widgets to your store in the future.
