One of the best ways of integrating WordPress into your Magento shopping cart ecommerce store is by using Lazzymonks Blog Extension for Magento. Below mentioned are some effective steps for setting up WordPress blog into your magento site.

Setup WordPress into Magento
The first and foremost step to do is to get the extension key by going to the extension page. If in case you are have already tried your luck with installing Lazzymonks WordPress integration extension then you need to follow two steps: 1) Go to Magento extensions manager and uninstall the WordPress integration extension 2) Go to the core_resource table of your database and delete the blog_setup entry.

Now again go to the Magento extensions manager and put the extension key to install. This process will dump files in your directory by installing the extension package. If in case you are not availing the default template that comes along with Magento install you then need to go app/design/frontend/default/default/template/blog and copy the 'blog' folder to where your theme is. Repeat the same for blog.xml from app/design/frontend/default/default/layout. If you do not take this step your blog will then show up as a blank page.

After doing all the above mentioned tasks your admin will have a new menu called 'blog' where you can create blog posts and categories. Now go to System > configuration >> blog – here you can get your hands on customizing the main blog setting like layout, etc.

Following each and every step carefully will help you get your desired results and will not let you run into any problem.

Role of a Blog in your Store
If you are into sales then a blog inside your Magento ecommerce store can provide you several benefits, infact it can do wonders in delivering a good product.

How to construct a B+ tree with example

Image
A B+ tree contains n-1 search key values K1K2…….Kn-1 and have n pointers.   In a B+ tree the data are ordered  sequentially.  The leaf node may hold up to n pointers and must hold at least N/2 pointers. The root node must hold at least two pointers, unless the tree consists of only one node.  Now we construct a B+ tree. Construct a B+ tree for the following set of key values: (2,3,5,7,11,17,19,23,29,31) Assume that the tree is initially empty and values are added in ascending order. Construct a B+ tree where the pointer number is Four. Solution: When a node exceeds n-1 search key value then we split it into two nodes. First node contains (ceiling(n-1)/2) values.  2 nd node contains remaining node. Copy the smallest search key value of the second node to the parent node. Let's start, we know each node has N pointer and has N-1 search key values. In our example pointer number is 4, so the search key value is 4-1=3. So each node has 4 pointers and 3 search key value. The first node i
