It's a good idea to first install the plug-in and find which Advertisers offer RSS feeds you'd like to promote and then apply to their programs.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>Where do I find my \"token\"?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>In the Publisher Dashboard at http:\/\/cli.linksynergy.com\/cli\/publisher\/links\/webServices.php<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>Do all LinkShare Advertisers offer RSS feeds?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>No, only certain Advertisers offer feeds.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>Do all LinkShare Advertisers offer Coupons?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>No, only certain Advertisers offer feeds.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>Do I need to continually update my plug-in?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>No!

You need to copy <code>&lt;?php get_linkshareRSS(); ?&gt;<\/code> or <code>&lt;?php get_linkshareCoupons(); ?&gt;<\/code> into your theme somewhere. I often use the sidebar.php file.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>Do I have to use both?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>No, you can use either one. Just include whichever call you need.
