Magento Tutorial - Turning On Template Path Hints

One of the most frustrating challenges I had learning to develop for Magneto was trying to figure out where the heck the blocks were defined and where they are referenced. This tutorial shows you how to turn on template path hints which will show you exactly where the blocks live. From there you can search for files referencing these blocks and edit, move, enabled, and disable all of the blocks (which will be in my next tutorial).
