Last Updated on Thursday, 12 July 2012 09:44 Written by Carole Bennett Monday, 23 July 2012 12:00

nopCommerce has a broad array of built-in features, but did you know it also has a built-in blog? Blogs are a powerful tool to communicate with your users, create interest in your products, and improve your SEO. Let’s look at how you can leverage your nopCommerce blog to get more traction with your Facebook followers.

To create blog entries, you’ll want to access your nopCommerce Administration section. Under the “Content Management” section, highlight “Blog”, and click on “Blog Posts”. Click the “Add New” button in the top right area.

You’ll notice that you have a fairly robust text editor available, as well as the ability to set tags for your blog entry. At this time, you don’t have the ability to schedule your post in advance; you may choose to use a third-party app if that’s an important factor to consider.

nopCommerce provides an incredibly robust e-commerce experience, not only for the customers who buy products, but for the store owner who uses the nopCommerce admin interface to manage their online store. Today, we’ll cover one of the basic steps to taking your nopCommerce store online – adding products.

In this article, we’ll cover how to use the features that are native to nopCommerce for this task. In the future, we’ll cover third-party products such as NopAdmin that also provide product import capabilities,

Before we get started on the products themselves, let’s determine what your product categories are going to be, and get them set up.

This article focuses on the basic sections and features of the phpFox admin control panel (admincp).

The Dashboard is the first page you see when you login to your admincp.  This page will show you basic site statistics for the day, which admins are currently active, and the latest news and updates from phpFox itself.

A key feature of this page is the AdminCP Notes box.  This text box can be used to keep whatever notes are important to you, I have used it when setting up a site to keep track of what has been done and what still needs to be done.  I have also used it to keep track of banned members and why they have been banned, ip addresses of spammers, members that have been warned, and even members that I thought might be worthy of a promotion to moderator of the site.
