How to use E-junkie to sell on your Web site or blog
Regular Web Site
E-junkie is not a CMS/storefront, so we don't build a site for you and don't impose any page templates upon you. With E-junkie, you can design and maintain your own Web site pages however you wish, with whatever Web design software you wish, using whatever text, images and other content you wish -- that's all entirely up to you.
To add our cart system to your website, you simply copy the ready-made blocks of HTML code we provide for your View Cart and Add to Cart buttons, so you can paste those codes into the HTML source code of your own Web site pages, wherever you want the purchase buttons to appear among your own content.
This means your chosen Web design software should provide some way to edit the raw HTML source of your page, or at least some way to paste-in ready-made HTML code as-is, without altering or modifying the code you paste at all.
If you're not really familiar with HTML, you may find it easier to use your Web page editor's visual-design mode (sometimes called WYSIWYG for "What You See Is What You Get") to type some placeholder text like XXXXXX wherever you will want the buttons to appear, so when you switch into HTML editing mode, you can look for that placeholder text and replace it with your E-junkie button codes.
Our Getting Started help page is a good place to begin setting up your E-junkie services, so you can get your button codes to start selling on your Web site!
If you are using a blog hosted on WordPress.com, they prohibit pasting any JavaScript there, so you will need to use the non-JavaScript version of our cart button codes (uncheck the box indicated on our button codes screen to convert those codes to their non-JavaScript version).
If you are using the WordPress software on your own Web site, you will need to paste our button code in your post editor's HTML view and save directly from that view. Do not switch back to WYSIWYG view after pasting in your button code, or that may remove all or some of the HTML from our button code. If you discover any layout glitches with your WordPress template after pasting our button code, please see special instructions here
If you are having problems getting our standard cart overlay to display (instead of having the cart open a new popup window/tab), please see this WordPress Codex help page on using JavaScript in WordPress. You may be able to get by as long as you can find a way to include at least this line (from your View Cart code) somewhere in the source code of your WordPress page, perhaps by placing it in a template file:
<script src='http://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/box.js' type='text/javascript'></script>
NOTE: Problems have been reported using our cart on WordPress sites that use the Ultimate Google Analytics (GA) plugin, because of the way that plugin works by automatically modifying the HTML code of links on the site, which breaks the way our own cart button code works; we recommend disabling/removing that plugin on any WordPress site where our cart is being used, or you will have to use the non-JavaScript version of our cart button codes. If you would like to take advantage of the GA tracking features built into our standard cart, please see our Tracking help page here.
Please see the Blogger help page about their Post Editor's Edit HTML mode.
