How to publish your Froogle feed, when the froogle mod doesn't work (like mine!!)
1. Login to your admin console
2. click 'tools'
3. select 'easy populate'
4. click 'Download Froogle tab-delimited .txt file'
5. it will probably ask you to login again on the the 1st try (not sure why but it does for me)
6. If it kicks you out, repeat 2,3,4 above, else continue
7. you should be prompted to OPEN, SAVE or CANCEL, select SAVE.
8. be sure to save it somewhere that you can locate it easily, you will need the file in a minute.
9. Now go to google.com
10. login if you havent already
11. click 'base' in the right column
12. select 'bulk upload' in the right column
13. on the next screen you will be asked for the file to be uploaded (remember the one we saved in step 8?)
14. click 'browse' button and locate the file you saved, then click 'open'
15. you should see the full path to the file now in the file window, if not repeat 14
16. click 'upload and process this file'
17. the screen should change indicating the file is being processed and to check back in a while to verfy it was successfull.
18. from my experience it will never be 100%, while writing these steps, I uploaded 504 items, of which 446 were successsfully added. for the most part the errors are usually in the formatting of your entries, but I havent gone back and looked at each one. I am happy at 88% of them added, your mileage may vary...
