Hi
I have added the code for the ebid search box on my homepage http://www.kingfisherbeads.co.uk
but it is showing the following message
Error parsing module spec:
Not a properly formatted file
missing xml header
When I first added the code to my page it was fine.
Do you know what might be causing this?

First thing I have done this morning - replaced the eBid search box on my Cyberdosh site. Excellent work Jimbo, it functions fine in the AOL browser as well. :)
Thanks S :)
Hi Jimbo, I have a free search on my main website and tried to incorporate my eBid stores into it so that anyone searching could see exactly where to look. However, the following is what has been returned to me...
starting pointurl excluded http://uk.ebid.net/stores/Cyberdosh robots.txt exclude
starting pointurl excluded http://uk.ebid.net/stores/Gift-Gallery robots.txt exclude
starting pointurl excluded http://uk.ebid.net/stores/Cyberdosh-Fundraising-Store robots.txt exclude
starting pointurl excluded http://uk.ebid.net/stores/PoundTime robots.txt exclude
starting pointurl excluded http://uk.ebid.net/stores/Wigtown-Book-Town robots.txt exclude
Does the above mean that it is impossible to include our own stores in our own site searches or am I doing something wrong? Just thought it would be another source of free promotion :)
Google allows this.
I set up a quick example on my account..
You could also make one for all links that are on the challenge page etc etc ..
I have included all your store links so go try it out ..
I can only keep this up for a day or two as it's on my own account feel free to make your own ..

Thanks Jimbo, I just need to find out how to do that and put it on my site. You hit the nail right on the head with that, as I'd like to be able to incorporate all the links leading to stores owned by tha participants in the Cyberdosh challenges. Going for a look now, cheers for that :)
Feebay is getting to greedy join the revolution and jump to eBid

Great stuff.. I would recommend reducing the size and make the back ground black to save your bandwidth..Quote:

All these wonderful tools to use and I simply dont get it or understand how to make them work on my websites, stores, auctions etc.
I wish they were automatic~
I never could drive a stick shift!
I cut , I paste, I edit in my name or user id and then IF* I find the right link to put them on, I still fail!
Very frustrating to say the least as I keep trying but seem to be spinning my wheels and have many auctions, not only here but elsewhere that I can never get the promo link things to work right...I think that may be why my auctions have such low viewings and get lost in the shuffle of things.
Is there any easy way to get the buttons where they belong and working?
Thanks~
Ave [feeling like a ditsy blonde!]
what a good idea

Hi Jimbo,
just about to add your Google Gadget Search to my website, but wondered how your snazzy png design was coming along? It looked real good.
Hell I forgot all about the google gadgets.Quote:

Hi jimbo750,
I have only IE6, & the add on doesn't seem to want to load using the link Gazza posted. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Linda
Hi Jimbo many thanks for that, you surely are a genius. Like the new .png wrap, it is the business.
Hi Linda, good advice is to add Firefox then you can use the add on, plus it is way better than IE 6 or 7 in my opinion.Quote:

I hope you'll check it out at grammasthisandthat.com I hope you'll also check out my All about eBid page. Oh and by the way, at the bottom of every page is a sticker that links back to my buddy link.

It doesn't. It adds eBid as a search option to your browser's search box so that you can enter a search term and carry out that search on the eBid site. Much as you would search Google, Bing, Wiki, etc.Quote:

Thank you Mel that clears that up and I am running Google!
I know it can be done but not computer literate enough to know how. Ebay allows you to put a button on your browser to click and go straight there as does Craigslist and so on. Anyone have the code or what I do to add the same for eBid?
If you have the Google toolbar installed you can follow post #28 above to put a hot button on the toolbar.Quote:
