[ic] Challenge adding new Item

[Cameron Germein]

have a look at the products.txt file directly. make sure there is some text
in the second column. it *will* display that text, if it is there. check
that the tabs are all in the right order and whatnot - but to be honest, my
guess is that there simply wont be any text in the field.

> Thanks for the reply.  Maybe I did not explain my question clearly.  I do
understand that a page is created and in my case, this is happening
correctly.  The challenge is that the link is not being created in the
category pages.  For example, go to the demo page located at
http://demo.akopia.com/cgi-bin/iccvsro and then click on "Brushes" in the
Hand Tools section.  There you'll see 2 items - "Hand Brush" and "Brush
Set".  Both of these items are actual links to the pages that Interchange
created.  In my case, I create a new item, add it to the Brushes category
page and get 3 listings just fine.  In the new item, the Sku, Stock and
price information is being displayed correctly, but the "Product" field is
blank.  What must I do to get the "Short Description" to show up in the
Product field of the category pages?
