Amazon showed me a new clean look today… Nice design with lots of white. here’s a product page:Update: September 4, 2011 Now amazon has gone back to looking how it used to.

Another WordPress thingy to drive me crazy! I try to put an amazon affiliate link in a post and it seems to work, but then as soon as I switch back the the Visual editor the link disappears!
As with many WordPress things:
NOTE: Watch the video below to understand the danger of the word “simple” — then read the rest of the post for what I did to make it work.
FYI – I’m a huge fan of Jeri Ellsworth!
