where do I learn how to ad an Amazon widget
-
If I want to post an amazon code for a widget they are providing, where do I go to learn how to install the code to my blog?

Generally speaking, posting code from third parties to WordPress.COM sites doesn’t work as the widgets contain code that isn’t allowed on WordPress.COM for security reasons. Here are more details:
If you want to post code that is allowed on the site, the text-widget is very versatile, and often your best bet: http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/

We allow affiliate links on WordPress.com, including from Amazon.com, but you will not be able to use the Amazon widget on a WordPress.com site. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/amazon-widget-9?replies=3#post-1882814
Posting of some affiliate links is possible, provided the blog is an actual blog and not just a storefront. Please read > http://en.support.wordpress.com/affiliate-links/ closely.
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 banners, affiliate links in sidebar or footer widget areas, are still considered to be advertising and are not allowed on WordPress.com blogs.

From the TOS http://en.wordpress.com/tos/
Please don’t:
•Post explicit sexual materials that can be considered pornographic, such as explicit images or video of sexual acts or close-up images of genitalia;
•Post links or banner ads to adult-oriented affiliate networks, such as pornography site signups;
•Post links, text, or images promoting or advertising escort services;
•Post images of extreme violence or gore without associated context or commentary;
•Post images of child pornography;
•Post content that promotes pedophilia, such as blogs with galleries of images of children where the images, content surrounding the images, or the intent of the blog is sexually suggestive.There is no warning notice page provided here. You crate a static front page and post one of your own making on it.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/Also you can go to the front of your blog and click the “report blog” link in the dropdown to report it to Staff as “mature”. For details re: mature content blogs.
A blog that is marked as Mature is excluded from public areas of the WordPress.com service. This means:It is not eligible to be featured in Freshly Pressed on the front page of WordPress.com
It will not appear in global tag listings
It will not appear in Top Blogs listings, recent posts, or related posts listings on other blogs
The blog’s users cannot use that URL as a link in their WordPress.com Forums profile

I am confused. If 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, then why does the site http://www.shopwithmemama.com have these features? Is it a ‘website’ and not a ‘blog’?

They are a WordPress.ORG install and are not hosted on WordPress.COM
