TWP Auctions can now display eBay auctions from non US countries using country codes (au, uk, etc…), so if your site is in Italian (or whatever) you can have geographically targeted auctions in your own language. The new version also includes a blank “onmouseover” function that hides the rover link in the user’s status bar.

This will probably be last release for a while. Get it here.

Here’s an example (in Italian):

MOTORE BENZINA O DIESEL MASERATI DAEWOO FERRARI

TWP Auctions 2.0 has been released! TWP Auctions now supports the eBay Partner Network. If you’re running an older version of TWP Auctions, then you’ll need to update to 2.0 before eBay closes down their old CJ program on May 1st 2008. Yes, it’s still free! Get it here!

I’m reluctant to give away all the good stuff for free – but I’ve added nofollow to all the links generated by TWP Auctions (my free eBay affiliate script). It’s not really a big deal, but so many people jumped up and down about wanting it that I couldn’t resist. I’ve fixed the xhtml validation issues too. Get it here.

I’ve been using CoverAction Pro for the last few days to create ebook covers and software boxes – it’s absolutely brilliant, and is really simple to use. What you get for your money ($97) is a huge selection of Photoshop actions that allow you to create high quality ebook covers, paperback covers, business cards, software boxes, CJ jewel cases, and DVD discs/covers.

To create your own ebook or software box, all you need to do is design a cover in Photoshop and click ‘play’ on whichever CoverAction Pro action that you want to use – then you sit back and watch the magic happen. The result is a lovely high resolution image, good enough for the web AND for printing.

Highly recommended! More info here.
