 * Great plugin depsite my little image import issues.
    What would be great is to
   be able to insert shortcodes of other plugins in the description (see my remark
   about audio player).
 * And be able to sort the order on alphabetic (title, tag and/or product code).
 * Thank you macguru for your work and user support !

 * Hi Zach,
 * Thanks for all your help today. I’d like to make a request if possible (’cause
   I’m demanding like that! ;-P )
 * …the option of having multiple PayPal accounts for more than one seller on a 
   website.
 * Thanks,
    Adelle

 * Hi Zach…

   catalog created!

 * kristel_ttm,
 * The new version of CataBlog, 0.9.6.1, has a new feature that lets you run your
   description text through all the current WordPress filters, effectively letting
   you insert shortcodes into your catalog item descriptions. Please be careful 
   with this feature though, as it has some potential for problems, especially with
   larger more complex plugins. Also, never ever put the [catablog] shortcode into
   your description unless you want to cause a never ending loop that could break
   your blog. Good luck 😉

 * Hi Zach,
 * I’m back! Catablog has been working perfectly – and it’s so simple & easy to 
   use especially since you introduced tick boxes for the tags!
 * I’ve had a request from some of the other sellers on the Picture House Antiques
   website. Would it be possible to have multiple images of the same item – sort
   of the way you can on eBay listings?
 * Thanks again,
    Adelle

 * Lovely plugin! Rated it 5 star already.
 * Ok, here’s my feature request:
    When adding an item, it would be nice to have
   the tinymce interface.
 * Thanks.

 * It is very possible to make a hover state for the buy now button using the store
   tab in CataBlog Options. SImple modify your template so you give the final input
   tag a class, then go into your styles.css file and add the class and :hover pseudo
   class to the file. Something as easy as adding `.catablog-buynow` to the button
   template in CataBlog options and then `.catablog-buynow:hover { color:red; }`
   should work. If you want to make the graphic change I would recommend rethinking
   how the button works, perhaps CSS backgronud-image would be more appropriate 
   for the button styling, then you can swap the image or change its position on
   hover. Good luck

 * You mean catablog.css (plugin editor) or my styles.css (child theme) ?
    Tried
   the last one but I do not see any styling change. But I am a noob in styling.

 * Well actually I mean a few things, I guess the best way to do it would be lay
   it out in step. Sorry I didn’t convey it thoroughly in the last post.
 * 1. Go to the CataBlog Options Panel and switch to the Store tab. You must have
   something in the template section there if you are seeing “buy now” buttons. 
   If you look at the HTML in that template it is basically a form.
 * 2 Change the last tag, an image type input, `<input type="image"... />`. You 
   would probably want to switch that input tag to a submit button with a CSS class,
   perhaps `.catablog-buynow`.
 * 3. In any CSS file loaded by your template, perhaps `style.css`, you should set
   style code that sets a width, height and background image on the class from the
   last step, `.catablog-buynow`. Look into styling form elements online.
 * 4. Make sure to also set a CSS hover pseudo class for the submit button from 
   the earlier steps, `.catablog-buynow:hover`.
 * You might need to do some independent research but it is very possible to give
   a form element a class and control it with CSS on standard, active, hover and
   focus states. Good luck and let me know if you figure it out.
 * By the way, you should never edit the `catablog.css` file within the plugin directory.
   You can make your own `catablog.css` file in the template directory which will
   get loaded and let you set CataBlog settings if you do not want to put your catalog
   style code into the theme’s `styles.css` file. In the next version the `catablog.
   css` stylesheet will only be loaded when catalogs are found on the current page.

 * Hi Zach,
 * How do I ‘manually update’ the default template? Do I need to add the %SUB-IMAGES%/
   class=”catablog-image catablog-subimage” to the default template? If so, whereabouts?
