  I’m trying to insert a link to a book I’m talking about through the Amazon Affilate program. The link won’t work. Is it blocked because I don’t have a premium account? I’m just a wordpress.com domain, not hosted.

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

  This is the blog page with the problematic Amazon Affiliate link:
  

  I’m pretty sure I did everything right. I inserted the amazon affiliate link to the text “The Iliad” in the first paragraph and again later on, but neither link is working. Instead, clicking on the link sends you to an error page on WordPress.

  I appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks!!

  For both links to The Iliad, you have 0px !important;” as the URL, which is not valid.

  You need to get the correct URLs from Amazon and correct those links:
