Adding links in my posts
-
I need to post links to places such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble etc… How do I do this? There is nothing in the help section except for posting other blogs and my own content.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If you are trying to set up an Amazon Store that’s a no go on a free hosted WordPress.com blog. We cannot post any iframes on free hosted WordPress.com blogs. The software will strip the code out to preserve security as this is a multiuser blogging platform.
The only exceptions to the affiliate links policy > http://en.support.wordpress.com/affiliate-links/ are found here in italics under blogs that are not allowed:
Affiliate marketing blogs: Blogs with the primary purpose of driving traffic to affiliate programs and get-rich-quick schemes (“Make six figures from home!!”, “20 easy steps to top profits!!”, etc). This includes multi-level marketing (MLM) blogs and pyramid schemes. To be clear, people writing their own original book, movie or game reviews and linking them to Amazon, or people linking to their own products on Etsy do NOT fall into this category. Here is a thread in the support forums that talks more about which affiliate links are OK or not OK. http://en.wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/
The only things you can sell on WP.com blogs are products that you, yourself create and/or services that you personally provide. For ecommerce, you will need an independently hosted blog using WordPress.ORG software.
For your selling your own creations see http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/

This is the guide for creating links in posts and pages: http://en.support.wordpress.com/links/
This is the general link model:
<a href="URL HERE">Highlighted anchor text here</a>
This is the visual result – it’s not actually linked.
Highlighted anchor text hereEnter the anchor text you want to link to first.
Then use your mouse to highlight that anchor text. (If you don’t highlight the anchor text the chain icon will remain grayed out and not be useable.)
Next click the chain icon in the editor and proceed to create the link. -
This is what I was looking for. I’m not selling anything, I’m writing book reviews and putting links for the books so people can find them easily. Thank you.
