  Two things, first of all my dashboard doesn’t appear unless I am moderating a comment and secondly I can’t seem to add an Amazon link. What am I doing wrong?

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

  What I post below applies only to sites hosted by wordpress.COM.

  You must be logged in under the exact same username that registered the site to be able to access the site. The Admin login link to the dashboard for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:

  http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  If you are not logged in under the correct username account then clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies and then login correctly under the relevant username account.

  If the login information has been lost go to
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#lost-password

  If required use the account recovery form
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/#account-recovery-form

  *Replace NAME_OF_BLOG in that URL with the actual name of your blog.

  I recommend bookmarking that link or memorizing it.

  I can’t seem to add an Amazon link

  Note:
  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.

  Thanks everyone. What a place- you ask a question and you get answers. If only the rest of the world worked as well.
