Presto Bloggo

You can now integrate CafePress products into WordPress using the new PrestoGifto WordPress plugin. This plugin will allow you to put products into your WordPress sidebar, after posts, on a static page or on the footer of your WordPress page.

The plugin is packed with functionality. You can put any of CafePress’s 59 million products into your blog, either earning commissions through the CafePress affiliate program, incorporating your own CafePress designs from your existing storefront or by doing a little of both.

This plugin is different in a few ways. First, it’s got a ton of functionality because it is supported by the PrestoGifto API. This means that once you get a plugin installed, you won’t have to keep reinstalling it to inherit feature improvements and bug fixes. Next, it’s pretty powerful. You can do anything from plug a design or two into your sidebar to taking full advantage of WordPress’s CMS capabilities and create your own niche CafePress store. Since all products are dynamically controlled through your WordPress admin panel, you can swap out items seasonally, according to the latest headlines or just on a whim. Last, the plugin is fully supported by PrestoGifto. So if you encounter bugs, have a feature request, or just need to talk through the process of installing it, you’re not left scratching your head.

An updated version of this plugin will be available early next week with some small adjustments and a simpler installation/signup path.
