-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amazona is a free WordPress Theme for you. It's a "Amazon-Look-Alike" theme that you
can use for selling things from Amazon.com through your Amazon Partner ID.

Amazona is highly attractive and has a perfect spot for the Amazon-Widget "Carousel"
that you can get from Amazon.com once you have your Partner ID.

To get it: go to amazon.com, sign as partner and choose the carousel-widget. This way
you'll get a bunch of codelines, that you can put in the Amazona Option Page.

Amazona comes with an theme-option page that is visible once you activated Amazona
in your WordPress Blog. You can customize Amazona with very little knowing of
html.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Further Specials:

Amazona supports
- multi-level page-navigation (pages, subpages and subpages) through suckerfish
- multi-level category-navigation
- round corners through jquery and jquery-corner
- seo-friendly
- based on blueprint grid css
- stable presentation in all modern browsers
- categories exposed
- tags exposed
- big user-friendly search-box
- theme-options page in backend
- favicon already on board
- opensearch-xml-file (see below)

- spirit set for a high-traffic super-selling amazon-products blog ;-)
- you'll love it.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
aStore Page (Amazon Partner Store Page)

Once you got your Amazon Partner ID, you'll also have your amazon-store (aStore)
internet address (something like: http://astore.amazon.de/seoscout-21).
Put this URL (internet address) into the last field in the amazona options page where
it says "aStore Page URL", save and go to pages » add page and choose the template
"aStore Page" from the template-dropdown (look out for "attributes"). That's it.
Your amazon-store is integrated within your blog!


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OpenSearch XML file:
FAQ: http://opensearch.a9.com/docs/faq.jsp

In short: edit the os.xml file to your needs and you and your visitors(!) will be 
able to pick up a "new searchengine entry" for the search-box in firefox and some
other modern browsers: your own blog-search!
Your visitors will be able to search anything on your blog while being on another page.

GeoTags and important DC.Tags in header.php

In file header.php, line 20 ff, you'll find some important GeoTags where you should
fill in your values for your address. Just delete the html-comment <!-- (line 19)
and --> (line 25) and fill in your geo-location.

for example:
you can delete this line safely: <?php # geo data, dc.tags: put in YOUR geo-location! ?>
<meta name="geo.placename" content="Holstenstrasse 9, 23552, Luebeck, Germany" />
<meta name="geo.position" content="53.866200;10.683560" />
<meta name="geo.region" content="DE-Schleswig-Holstein" />
<meta name="ICBM" content="53.866200, 10.683560" />
<meta name="DC.title" content="Amazona WP-Theme | http://seo-scout.org/" />

The author of Amazona WP Theme is not connected to Amazon.com. I just made it because
there wasn't any amazon-ish theme out there when i needed it. I decided to make this
a free theme for the WordPress.org theme repository, for everyone.


have fun with Amazona Theme!
