To make a text link would be: 1) Log in to Amazon Associates 2) Select Build/Link Widgets 3) Select TEXT LINKS 4) Typically what I do then is find whatever I am looking for on Amazon remember the URL and then copy it into the "Link to Any Page" option on this page, and put in the text you want to show. 5) It should then generate the HTML code you need and paste it in. My HTML code for a Zune would be the following: <a href="http://www.amazon.ca/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.ca%2FDigital-Media-Player-Black-Generation%2Fdp%2FB0015MRL9U%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dsoftware%26qid%3D1216522411%26sr%3D8-2&tag=bigcajunstore-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=15121&creative=330641" rel="nofollow">Zune Player</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.ca/e/ir?t=bigcajunstore-20&l=ur2&o=15" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> I tried the product preview stuff and it made my Blogspot sites go INSANE so I cut out that code.

But I can't even get the plain text link from amazon associates to work. Would you be willing to list out the steps. It seems simple (copy and paste) but I must be doing something wrong. Also, have you tried using the Product Preview java code in a post? A text link with that Product Preview is what I'd really love to use but I can't figure out how it works. That I just copy and paste in the post in html mode. But...? I keep trying different variations of entering the link (visual/html, using the "link" button visual and/or html mode, not using the button at all, etc. It seems to work but then when I try it again, it doesn't. AAARRRGGGHHH! LOL I haven't done this for about a year and I know it worked back then so there must be a way. Any help you can offer will be appreciated. But know that I'm not real techy. Thank you!
