  I don’t know how to paste Amazon affiliate links into my blog. I tried using the add media feature, but it didn’t work. I saw advice that said to paste it into the HTML editor section of my blog, but I don’t even know what that is. Please help!

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

  Read this please http://en.support.wordpress.com/affiliate-links/

  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.

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

  It’s not difficult, but you MUST use only plain text links. No widget code. No javascript code. Just a plain text link. Are you an Amazon affiliate already? If so, they have excellent training materials there. We don’t really do support for affiliate blogging here.

  Thanks to both of you. I got it figured out. I didn’t realize I needed to be in text mode to post the links.
