  I thought I used to be able to add a custom url / link for the images I uploaded from my computer. This sent readers who clicked the image to an outside page (mainly Amazon). Can I still do that?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Please read http://en.support.wordpress.com/affiliate-links/ The Amazon widget code will not work on a WordPress.COM hosted blog.

  1. WordPress.com allows bloggers to insert text affiliate links within post and page content to most third-party affiliate programs, provided they are not the primary content of the site in question.

  2. Image affiliate links in posts and pages and any banners, affiliate links in sidebar or footer widget areas, are still considered to be advertising and are not allowed on WordPress.com blogs.
