Cafepress block?

[foreverpurple]

I was wondering about getting a Cafepress block to display items from my store.  It would be even better if the block let you choose which items were displayed based on their tags.

I use the random image snippet to display the items on my Cafepress store.  When members click on the picture it brings them to the main page of the store, however, you can configure it to go directly to the pictured item.  Check it out here on the right block - AVS Gift Shop

Could you walk me through setting it up?  I'm fairly php illiterate though I'm trying.  I tried the coppermine random image block and it's not working so I must be doing something wrong.  I know there is a code snippet for this so I'll get it, try it and see if I can make it work.

I got the snippet from here - A Random Picture/Banner Script.  To me it was easier than the instructions for the random Coppermine setup.

I think I got it.  I just save copies of my cafepress images to the folder and its working

Now to figure out coppermine ...grr
