Do you have a large number of different items to sell on your website ?
And you want to display them in pages rather than all in one shop page ?
You can easily do this by following the process below :
1) From the main options go to 'Extras' from the Main Options, followed by 'Add features', then 'Add/edit a shop'
2) Insert your Paypal email address
3) Insert the number of unique items you want to display on the first shop page
4) Select the shop page from the list of pages below; this will represent the first shoppping page
5) Insert the items information and save
6) Follow steps 1-5 for additional pages
7) Go under change content
8) Select the shop page
9) Rename the page under the box 'Type the title of your web page in this box' e.g. 'Shop Page 1 of 4'
10) Repeat steps 7-10 for every shop page
The above steps will create different shop pages that will display as separate links to your menu.
Now to make them dispaly as sub-pages under the main shop page follow these steps :
1) Create a main shop page which will act as the root page; to do so go to 'How many pages' from the Main Options andselect 'Add 1' and save changes
2) Now to attach the subpages go to 'Extras' from the Main Options, followed by 'Add features', then 'Submenu'
3) Select the subpage from the first box, e.g. 'Shop page 1 of 4'
4) Select the main shop page from the second box; normally named 'Shop page' by default, and save
5) Repeat steps 1-4 for all subpages
What also helps and many of our customers do is use the main Shop Page to create a layout of what these pages contain. For example if you go under change content and select the main Shop Page, you can create links representing these subpages eg 4 different thumbnails for items sold alphabetically on link 1 are letters starting from A to G, on link 2 are letters from G to K and so on.

Hello,
We know from experience that some customers forget to renew their Mr Site services no matter how many reminders we send. Yet that can mean your website going offline. Worse, if your domain name expires without you realising, it could be snapped up by domain name speculators planning to make a quick profit by selling it back to you. It happens to all sorts - even big name companies like Emirates and Hamleys have slipped up.
Avoid the expiry trap:
We offer an auto-renewal service to make sure you don't fall into this trap. When auto-renewal is switched on, we take payment when it's due to keep your Mr Site services running as normal.
To ensure your Mr Site services do get renewed automatically, please ensure that you don't turn off the auto recurring payment option in your account. To control the recurring option, login to your Mr Site account and from the main options on the right hand side click on 'My Account', then 'Manage my package'.

Personal data collected by Google's UK Street View cars has been deleted.
The UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), which has been criticised for not taking a more hardline stance against Google, confirmed the deletion.
The first batch of wi-fi data, which included snippets of e-mails, URLs and passwords, was deleted in November.
But legal wrangles in other countries meant that the remaining data, all of which the firm said was collected in error, took more time to erase.
"We can confirm that the UK data has now been deleted, and that this has been independently certified," said Google.
The deletion was carried out by US forensics firm Stroz Friedberg.
The ICO welcomed the announcement and said that it had been sent a copy of the report confirming the deletion.
"This is inline with the requirements of the undertaking issued by the ICO and signed by Google last month," said a spokesperson.
The ICO has come under fire for not taking action against the firm, which first admitted to collecting information from unsecured wireless networks in more than 30 countries in May 2010.

You may have heard of the term ‘domain alias’ but never really known what it means. A domain alias (or tandem, as it’s sometimes also called) is when more than one domain name leads to the same website.
For example, if the domain ‘www.test1.com’ is your chosen Takeaway Website name and you then add the domain alias of ‘www.test2.com’ to your account as well, both addresses would take your visitor to ‘www.test1.com’.
With Mr Site you can add up to six additional domain aliases – these can be names you have purchased from Mr Site or if you have bought domains with other providers, you can either move the domain for Mr Site to host or keep the name with its current registrar and ask them to ‘point’ it at your Takeaway Website.
If you’d like to buy your new domain from Mr Site, click on the ‘Buy’ button from the Main Options pages. Then from the drop down list next to ‘What purchase would you like?’ select ‘Purchase a new domain’. Now, type in your new domain into the box when prompted and if it’s available to purchase, Mr Site will ask you what you’d like to do with it – choose ‘Work in tandem’ and this will place the domain name as an alias alongside your Takeaway Website domain name.
If you have purchased the domain name from another registrar, you will need to contact the Mr Site support team so they can place the domain name as an alias on your account – you can talk to them on Live Chat (just click on the Live Chat icon in the top right hand corner of the Main Options page) or email support@mrsite.co.uk

As some of you may already be aware, Mr Site has recently been trialling a Live Chat support service – due to an overwhelmingly positive response from our customers, we are very pleased to announce that this service will now be running permanently, to all customers.
In the past, lots of people have asked us for additional support in the evenings and over the weekend so we are also happy to let you know that you can now connect completely free of charge to a Mr Site support guru almost any time you like! We’ll have gurus available from:
5:30am - 1:30am (GMT) Monday to Friday
11:00am - 6.00pm (GMT) Saturday to Sunday
When you need to speak to a guru, click on the Live Chat icon found in the right hand corner of the Main Options.
If our guru cannot answer your question they will submit a service request email on your behalf for further investigation should it be required.
We’d like to ask, that if you do use this service, please spend a few moments to provide your feedback at the end of your chat. This ensures Mr Site continues to provide you with the best possible support service the way you like it.
We hope you enjoy this new addition to the Mr Site family!
