  You appear to have a self hosted site, this forum is for sites hosted on WordPress.COM.

  For the difference: http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  You will have better luck at the WordPress.ORG (keepers of the software) Forum: http://wordpress.org/support/

  Yes, I have a website hosted elsewhere. My Blog “All About Faces” is hosted by WordPress, where I’m having trouble adding some amazon products.

  Can you help me??

  Thank you.

  If the code is stripped, then it is code not allowed on wp.com blogs:

  You are free to do almost anything you want on a self hosted site. WordPress.com strips some html and other things for security reasons.

  You should be able to add any link, add or construction you want in your sidebar if you are self hosted. You can move content by Export then Import to new site.
