One for WordPress bloggers
June 26, 2008
Excuse me while I’m a little bit off-topic, but I know a few people round here are running their own WordPress blogs. If you would like to join me for a beer and a curry learn more about the world’s best blogging system, you could do worse than attend WordCamp UK. It’s in Birmingham, Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th July, at The Studio. The content is shaping up to be rather interesting, and tickets are now on sale.
PHP affiliate links with eBay’s EPN
April 6, 2008
If you’re a member of eBay’s new Partner Network and you use text links to send traffic to eBay, it’s probably pretty important to you to be able to create those links quickly. But if you’ve used the new link building tool on the EPN site, and especially if you opted for geotargetting, you probably looked in horror at the pile of javascript it produced, and wondered how you were ever going to be able to create a text link without running through the tool every single time.
Fortunately a thread by SlightlyUnhinged on the UK Affiliates’ Board dissects the anatomy of an affiliate link, and has allowed me to create a new PHP function to make the text links in TameBay. If you make a lot of text links to eBay, then this might prove useful.
