I use the <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60" title="web developer">Web Developer</a> plugin for Firefox but there are many others you could use.</p>
<p>1) Make a new content page</p>
<p>2) Open up your store in another tab and disable CSS styles.</p>
<p>3) Copy all the links from Site Navigation to the end of your Store Navigation links.</p>
<p>4) Go back to your new page and paste the links into the content area.</p>
<p>5)  Tidy up the links if needed. I usually indent the links and use a bullet style.</p>
<p>6) Fill in the Title, Page Name etc and save.</p>
<p>7) Finished!</p>

<p><u>Instructions </u></p>
<p>The first thing to do is to go to ebay and do an advanced search. Put in all the search parameters you need and ensure you enter your affiliate ID in the appropriate box. Tick the box to save the search in My ebay then perform the search.</p>
<p>If  the search gives you the results you expected click on the RSS icon (in the address bar on Firefox or the bottom bar on IE) and save the RSS details.</p>
<p><u>Using FeedBurner to Monitor your RSS Feeds </u></p>
<p>Go to FeedBurner (and make an account if you don&#8217;t already have one)</p>
<p>Now enter the feed address you obtained from ebay into the box for new feeds. Give your feed a new name or it will have a long name from ebay including the search details. Activate your feed.</p>
<p><u>Putting the feed on your site </u></p>
<p>I put my feed in the right sidebar. To do this you&#8217;ll need to edit the footer.php file from your themes folder. If you want to put it into the left sidebar edit header.php. Instructions below are for footer.php</p>
<p>Immediately after &lt;div id=&#8221;sidebarright&#8221;&gt; or after  &lt;h2&gt;Sponsored Links&lt;/h2&gt; depending on where you want your feed, enter the following lines suitably edited for your feed.</p>
<p>&lt;h2&gt;RSS Feed&lt;/h2&gt;<br />
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;center&gt;some heading text&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br />
some more text&lt;br/&gt;<br />
&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href=&#8221;http://feeds.feedburner.com/your feed address&#8221; title=&#8221;feed title&#8221;&gt;&lt;img src=&#8221;http://example.com/images/rssfeed.png&#8221; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;</p>
<p>The image for the feed must be uploaded to a folder on your server and the correct address included above.</p>
<p>You can get some feed icons at</p>
<p><a href="http://www.marcofolio.net/icon/10_beautiful_rss_icon_packs_for_web_2.0.html" title="10 beautiful RSS icons"> 					10 beautiful RSS icon packs for Web 2.0</a></p>
<p><a href="http://fasticon.com/freeware/?p=57" title="RSS circle icons">RSS circle icons </a></p>
<p>You can easily add more than one feed with different icons to give your visitors  different specialised searches.</p>

<p>Neo over at <a href="http://www.million-dollar-website.com/" title="million dollar website">Monetize Your Website or Blog</a> has a <a href="http://www.million-dollar-website.com/pixel/public_html/index.php" title="pixel page">pixel page</a> where you can advertise your site. There&#8217;s a special page for BANS stores and it&#8217;s free, so head on over there and get some more publicity/backlinks for your store.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m also going to set up a page for links to BANS sites on Best BANS templates and my blog at  <a href="http://antiguawebsolutions.com/myblog" title="antigua web solutions blog">Antigua Web Solutions</a>. This site is new so doesn&#8217;t have any page rank yet but Antigua Web Solutions blog gets a fair amount of traffic and has a PR of 2. Not wonderful yet but it was still very new at the last PR update! So leave your BANS store address and anchor text and I&#8217;ll add your site to both pages. I will be limiting the number of links (don&#8217;t want to get in trouble with Google!) so don&#8217;t wait too long.</p>
