I just wanted to let those of you who still use Build A Niche Store know that I've created a new BANS theme pack which you can download for FREE right here. If I'm honest I quite enjoy putting these templates together so it wasn't much of a hardship.

The theme pack consists of 4 main color variations which you can use on as many sites as you wish. These themes also come with a copy of the html used for the home page layout which you can see in the image preview below, perfect for your review style websites.

These themes are coded to W3C standards and there shouldn't be any issues but I did put them together quite late last night so if you do find any problems them please feel free to let me know via the comments section below and I'll rectify any issues. Also if you have any requests with regards to other versions of the theme then once again please feel free to comment below. Read the rest of this entry »

Update: This download now includes all 12 themes plus bonus templates completely free of charge, simply signup to my blog and you'll be able to download all 30 plus themes immediately

Due to popular demand I have finally completed an array of colors for the Wordpress E-Commerce/ phpBay template and placed them into a massive 12 pack. All templates come with the psd file for the header text so you can edit it to meet your requirements.

The Wordpress E-Commerce template works great with phpBay, phpZon and phpOStock but will also work well as a stand alone Wordpress E-Commerce theme. Any one of these themes will give your Wordpress affiliate site a clean and professional look, giving your potential customers the confidence to browse your site.

You can download the Caramel version of the theme for FREE by subscribing to my blog, you can also see a full preview of this theme on my test site at www.BestPriceBeads.com.

I am currently working on the full sales page along with an affiliate program for this template pack which will be located externally to my blog, however for now you can see a thumbnail preview of each of the 12 themes by clicking here . You get all 12 themes in one download.

You can purchase the entire template pack right here for just $27. You will be redirected to download your purchase immediately following payment.

I just wanted to let you know that I am just putting the finishing touches to 10 different color styles for the Wordpress e-commerce style template , which will be available very soon. If you remember I released the theme a couple of weeks ago in the caramel color which is available for FREE to all my blog subscribers.

I am going to be releasing the theme pack in a variety of colors which will hopefully fit any niche you choose to use them on.

I am also beginning to work on some alternative layout versions of the theme including a left sidebar and a right sidebar versions which will be available in the very near future as an upgrade to the upcoming theme pack.

Keep watching over the next few days, all blog subscribers will be notified first when the theme pack is released.  If you haven't downloaded the FREE caramel theme yet then you can do so right here.

Okay, I now have the Wordpress E-Commerce style template ready for download, I am currently working on adding more color variations to the mix but at present it is available in a caramel color. You can see a working demo of the theme right here on one of my sites:

www.BestPriceBeads.com.

The theme is simple, easy to use and the sidebars are widgetized. There is a featured image section (removed in my demo site) on the home page which can be removed quite easily by commenting out the code in the header.php file, this is all explained in the readme.txt file which comes with your template download.

In addition I was also working on having the search form in the header along with 'bookmark us' & 'Subscribe to RSS' links but after looking at those parts on the live site I didn't think they went with the feel I was trying to achieve. That code is still in the header.php file and is clearly commented out should you wish to reactivate any of them.

As I said in an earlier post I am releasing these themes completely FREE to all subscribers of my blog, you will also recieve any future updates including color variations through the email address you use to subscribe. All I ask for giving this theme for FREE is that you leave my copyright notice in place, of course I cannot force you to do this so if you feel you have to remove it then I would appreciate a small donation for my time.

Enjoy the theme, and let me know if there are any specific color variations or ammendments you would like me to make to the theme and I will see what I can do.

I just wanted to make this very quick post to let you all know that after a few weeks of trying to get this completed I am finally putting the finishing touches to a phpBay style Wordpress theme. My aim when creating the theme was to take into account what aspects people like about certain themes and how they like their phpBay or general Wordpress affiliate sites to look. This is how I came to decide on the final design of the theme I am due to release.

For those of you who have used the Limau Orange theme from Bob, you will certainly recognise the layout but I am hoping you will agree that it looks a lot more professional.

The best thing about this theme is that I am deciding to release it completely FREE to all my blog subscribers along with the Limau Reloaded pack. I should have the theme completed over the weekend so keep a look out here for more information.

If you build an e-commerce style Wordpress affiliate site then the last thing you want on your site is the all of the stuff which makes it look like a blog, things like the author's name, date, time of posting and comments etc. Removing them can be a bit of a pain, particularly if you are quite new to using Wordpress and not used to wading through source code. So I have tried to make your life a little easier. Read the rest of this entry »

Hi all

This is only going to be a really really quick post. For those of you who have heard of this great plugin for wordpress called the wordpress review site I have completed a BANS WP integration of one of their main themes, you can see a preview below. The plugin is a great way of getting traffic to your site and earning revenue from product reviews, with this theme you can place links to your related eBay items directly in your reviews which link directly through to your BANS store/eBay listings.

I will be reviewing the plugin in the next few days but for now if you want to take a look for yourself then head on over to the site here.

Hi everyone

I know it doesn't feel like it but christmas is on its way now, its something like 11 weeks till christmas or there abouts and it will come around quick. Take advantage of the festive season and get those christmas Wordpress BANS sites started. To help you do this I have converted a christmas themed wordpress template to work with BANS. Its a really nice looking template and comes with full installation instructions. The template is designed to work with wordpress on the root of the domain and only requires you to edit one file so its nice and simple to upload.

I'm keeping things in the pre-Christmas spirit and giving this template away free, of course I never say no to a Christmas tip:)

You can see a preview of the template below.

You may have seen the tutorial from the Eurika Diary which shows you how to make an ecommerce style phpBay site using the Limau Orange Theme from Bob. It shows you how to remove all of the uneccessary code from the template to prevent it from looking like a blog. Well I have done the work for you as well as creating 5 extra colors for you to download right here on my blog. The themes don't come with installation instructions but all you need to do is unzip the file and upload them directly to your wordpress themes folder. Then just go ahead and activate your chosen theme.

It comes with installation instructions and is made to work with BANS in a folder and wordpress on the root.

Hi everyone.

I have been working for the last couple of days getting my Build A Niche Store Professional Template converted over to a wordpress BANS integration and its finished, well at least it is in blue anyway :). I figured that since when I gave out some free samples of this template blue was most popular it would be the one I converted first.
