Lots of kind souls helped me out on Twitter with this one. Some versions of Safari are stricter about setting cookies than others. Also, Magento sets the full cookie domain and path as well, which is where weird cookie bugs can lie. If you’re having trouble setting your session Magento (i.e. “Please Enable Cookies, you [...]

astormAs with most successful blogs, my success here has led to success elsewhere. I have three or four half finished articles that are going to have to stay that way for a few more months.
