Gosh, it’s quiet here without Mark. To help fill the void I decided to add this post.
To give your site more credibility you can add a ‘Contact Us’ form. You can read, ‘How to Add a ‘Contact Us’ Form to Your Site,’ located on my blog.
This mod is super easy to do (compared to other methods of adding a contact form), uses the email address you already entered in your site’s Admin, and helps protect you from having your email address harvested by spam collectors because it uses captcha.

Hi Rochelle,
I followed your “How to” instructions from your blog http://www.nichestorestrategies.com to add the “Contact Us” mod to my sites. You’re right, following your instructions, this is one of the easier mods to do.
I also used your directions for adding Bookmark this site and Email a friend.
Just wanted to say “thank you”.

Can’t wait to add this one tonight! I’ve been wondering about a “contact us” and how many were using it..
I had tried the “email a friend” mod and never could get it to show up for some reason… i may try it again this weekend..
also, if couple of you have time, could you check out one of my sites.. it’s
http://www.BuyPrimitives.com
i added a content page “Pictures of Our Primitive Home Decorations”
maybe a couple of you could try and “add” a picture and i’ll see if it shows up correctly on my end…
thanks a bunch!
Hi Rochelle,
Thanks for the info - I’ve learned a lot from your posts here and elsewhere over the last few months. All good solid stuff!
Keep up the good work! :-)

Also if anyone wants to see what it looks like, you can check out http://www.findtoysonline.com/contact.php and drop me a line or two :o)
I’ve edited the wording a tad but the rest is out of the box - easy peasy to implement!

Kind of glad it quiet. Needed to slow down.
Thanks Rochelle the mod works perfect, But have you found a way to put it in the footer and shut off the page ?
Thanks Lots
Bill,
No, I haven’t played around with this code at all. Not sure what you mean by shutting off the page. Will you clarify this for me?
I know what you mean about it’s good to slow down. I’ve gotten a lot done this week because things aren’t so hectic.

Just curious– for the people that do have a contact form on their sites, what kind of comments do you get from visitors? Is it suggestions for the site or do they contact you with Ebay issues?
I use Kontactr forms on my sites. I don’t have a ton of traffic, but I’ve gotten exactly one email. It’s really there more for peace of mind and professionalism, in my opinion anyway.
Anyone notice eBay extended the migration to the end of May?
Sounded great until I got to this:
“Note that because of our contractual obligations, as of May 31st, you will no longer be able to receive any commissions through Commission Junction. This will include commissions from clicks in May that convert into purchases or ACRUs in June.”
Doh! I think sooner is definitely better. :)
@Rochelle
Ive been turning off my content pages and putting a link in the footer. The mod dosnt show as a page in admin, unless Ive been doing it wrong. I don’t like the idea of contact being right in the users face. Maybe a thread on the forum here is in order ?
Thanks
Another great upgrade. I am so happy since I found your site, it has been a massive time saver for dumb dumbs like me.
Just wanted to say thanks.
@Bill,
I gotcha. I call it ‘hiding’ the pages and was thrown by the ’shutting off.’ Surely there is a way to move this link elsewhere but I don’t know how to do so. If you figure this one out please share as I’d also like it in my footer area.
Hi Rochelle,
Newbie, please excuse someone with no html experience.
Is it just the code as follows that I replace }
return $f;
}
function printPagesStaggeredChildren($id, $arrChildren, $level = 0)
or is it all code down to next return $f:
thanks
Trevor
Trevor,
The only code you will replace is:
}
return $f;
}
function printPagesStaggeredChildren($id, $arrChildren, $level = 0)
{
Rochelle
Added it to a couple of my sites and worked like a charm - had trouble with another one but I am sure I got excited and skipped a step or something. :-)
Thanks!
