Nice but can you make it xhtml valid?
<div align="center> and </div> instead of the center tag?

For the England ebay....?

Change </br> to <br /> please to be 100% xhtml valid :)

Very easy! Nice!

can you combine affiliate linkage into this?

Anyone else have problems with this?

sorry what do u mean ??? can u explain plezzz

Looks like there was some interference with the music widget that wrapping itself around the ebay widget.
When you entered something into the ebay widget, it would open a new window as it should, but in the main window would change to profile view. Strange but we seperated the 2 widgets and all is well.
Thanks
