A new way to link to Amazon in your posts

[Harvey]

Here's a simple, easy-to-use way to link words in your post to Amazon.

I've prepared a new button that appears in your posting pages: it's a 'Search Amazon' button and looks like this:

When you're citing a book or accessory in your posts, you can:

1. Select the text (e.g. War and Peace), and...
2. Click the 'Search Amazon' button

Simple! In your post, that text will become a clickable link. When readers of your post click on it, a new browser page will open with search results from Amazon.

It's a quick and easy way to link the content in your posts to Amazon. (Note that, to go straight to a particular Amazon product page, or to create an image link, you still need to use the Link-Maker tool.)

Let me know if you have questions or problems with it!

I hope Amazon appreciates all the business we are sending their way...

Thanks, Harvey!

Cool... I love new toys!!

Cool!  And you will still get an amazon affiliate commi$$ion if a purchase is made during that visit, right?  I now always make sure I link to amazon thru this site so that a wee bit of the money I spend there will go help support this great board.  It might not be much, but I figure it all adds up and every little bit helps.

Thanks, Harvey!

^ Yes, that search has our affiliate information in it, so Amazon will credit us for any sales that result. Thanks, Xia!
