			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m researching / experimenting with open source ecommerce solutions, specifically ones that run in PHP on MySQL.  My host company, <a href="http://dreamhost.com">Dreamhost</a>, provides a one-click install of <a href="http://www.zen-cart.com/">Zen Cart</a> but I&#8217;ve heard that one&#8217;s a bit difficult to customize.  </p>
<p>I&#8217;d heard of <a href="http://openfreeway.org/">Freeway</a> recently but wasn&#8217;t really impressed with them.  Then there&#8217;s the <a href="http://www.markettheme.com/">Market Theme</a>, an ecommerce solution for <a href="http://wordpress.org">WordPress</a>.  But you&#8217;ve got to buy that one.  It&#8217;s cheap and I&#8217;m necessarily looking for free but the whole idea of paying for something to add to WordPress seems antithetical to me.</p>
<p>Then yesterday, I found <a href="http://www.magentocommerce.com/">Magento</a> which blows me away.  I&#8217;m installing it now to put it through its paces.  I can&#8217;t wait to see how it holds up to <a href="http://www.aspdotnetstorefront.com">ASPStoreFront</a> (my firm&#8217;s default ecommerce solution and a ridiculously heavy and user-unfriendly platform that runs on Windows very much <em>not</em> open source server).  I&#8217;ll let you know.</p>
