DISQUS

Fred @ Newest on the Net · 2 years ago

This is web 2.0 adopting Web 2.0. This is a natural progression. I like it.

Could you answer a technical question for me? How do you get your bumpzee, plugim, and sphinn buttons to line up on top of each other on the right side of your posts? I would love to do this.

I look on this as being an absolute given, so many crazy things get sold on Ebay that could make it more sticky, I am really not sure why Valleywag didn't like the idea.

For the voting buttons here is the code

[code]
<?php the_post(); ??>
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><?php the_ID(); ??>" class="<?php blogtxt_post_class(); ??>">
<h2 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ??></h2>
</div><div class="entry-content">
</div><div class="mybotbox">

<?php if (function_exists('bump_this_widget')) bump_this_widget(); ??>

<?php if (function_exists('show_plugimbox')) show_plugimbox(); ??>

<?php if (function_exists('show_sphinnit')) show_sphinnit(); ??>

</div>
<?php the_content('<span class="more-link"?>'.__('Continue Reading »', 'blogtxt').''); ?>
[/code]

With it I use some simple CSS

[code].mybotbox{
float: right;
margin: 10px 5px 10px 10px;
width: 100px;
height: 250px;
min-height: 250px;
background:#ffffff;
padding: -8px 0em 0em 0.5em;
}[/code]

I need to improve it a little, and am looking at how to do it all inside an iframe so it doesn't slow down page loading so much if something is broken.

Thanks Andy. I really need to bring up my technical skills in order to improve my blog.

First time I posted it it didn't appear quite right in the comment field, so I have now edited it.

Thanks Andy!!

Where do I put the first snippet of code?

AndyBeard · 2 years ago

The first snippet is a chunk from my single.php

When I had the full content on the home page I used to have the buttons there as well in the index.php , but this slowed page load a fair amount.

I wonder if they might integrate the 2 in some way, allowing you to Stumble the Best of Ebay.

I hope not. That was one of the things I was worried about when Ebay bought StumbleUpon. That we would be seeing Ebay auctions as we Stumble. If they do offer it hopefully we could turn it off. Like Stumbling Flickr or YouTube.

Hey, I am one of those eBayers who earns my living selling on eBay - I like to call myself a "professional recycler." I am all eBay, 24/7. I have found most of the eBay sponsored community platforms (the blog, forums, etc) sort of a waste of time. It seems the forums and groups outside of eBay are more informative and REAL - there are just too many restrictions on the actual site so communication between members is limited. I find discussions on other forums, groups, and blogs to be much more open and genuine - we chat freely and provide links to other resources to help each other out.
Regards,

I am also another big time seller on ebay. I started out selling things around the house. Now i buy things cheap and then re-sell them for a profit. I think the new social news site is based on promoting the christmas stock, well thats just my theory.

I'm not a real big supporter of Ebay but I do think they're trying to experiment with something. And Christmas is the perfect time to launch something like that. If it soars, then they can officially make it known to the world next year. If it doesn't, it can fade away with the year.

I used to ebay quite a lot, however since moving to the country and not having a local post office, it's become too much hassle. Although I read this so obviously still keep up to date with what's going on.
