Store update

There is now a working prototype with the ability to accept custom CSS. This isn't being rolled out yet, as I haven't yet created a generator to allow people to make their own CSS. It may be offered initially with a choice of three or four colours, or the default.

The other reason to hold back for now is because we are working on improving the quality of third party links, for publishers particularly. As this is keyword driven, wiring into APIs from other companies, these are never going to be perfect but there are a few tweaks that could improve them.

The other component we are looking at adding is a link to Diesel. As their system works differently to others, this has proved tricky but we may have a work around to add them.

ETA: Fixes are now live for a character encoding bug, and for publisher's search results. There are some further speed improvements - if you don't see it run faster that's because it now does a lot more. The css functionality is present, but we're going to do a limited test before showing how to enable it for individual stores.
