WordPress Plugin

Although Auction Nudge has always been compatible with WordPress (and any other content management system or website where you can embed a line of HTML) this plugin for WordPress enables you to so so with no technical knowledge.

Once the plugin is installed you can specify a marker (like [an_items]) within the content of a page or post where you would like your live eBay data to display and the plugin will do the rest. You can also embed directly from your theme files by a function call like <?php an_items(); ?>

You can even use the plugin to add CSS rules and modify the appearance of Auction Nudge.
