Bleeding issues

Ok, so after getting all my brakes back a week or so ago, I bled them in the farthest from the master cylender order, adn they bled fine, little or no air in them. Put it all back together and there is lots of pedal travel before the brakes kick in, and seems like there is not nearly as much stopping power as there was before. Whats the deal, I have been pulling my hair out! I have re-bled 3 times now and still no go. I was told to bleed the ABS system, how does one go about doing so? I really dont want to take it to somewhere like muffler man, but I will if I have to...

ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!
