 Hi Sharon, This stuff sure can get confusing, can't it? So here goes: If you look at your blog, you'll see on the right a box that says 'Recommended' - that's the main place where you put the affiliate link you're promoting. Now, you can go and make the button, like Marc shows in the video, or you can use a different format. Me, I had a big problem with making buttons, so, instead of wasting more time fiddeling with that, I just took a small banner and a text link from the ones offered by the merchant at CJ, and pasted the whole mess into the Sidebar of WP. Right about now you're probably saying 'oh my Gawd, how do I do that!' If you want to make the regular butttons, check out a post by Carm about the button maker she found. If you don't want to mess with the buttons, here's how I did mine. First of all, check out what the result looks like here: http://www.perfumeguides.com To do it that way is really simple. log into your WP admin go to Presentation click on Theme Editor on the right hand side you'll see a list of files go to Sidebar (it's right under Archives), click on that scroll down to where it says <h2>Recommended</h2> You insert your ad code between that and </div> Before the next block, which is <h2><?php _e('Categories'); ?></h2> Here is what mine looks like: <h2>Recommended</h2> <div class="menublock"> <a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-2291485-9828076" target="_blank"> Perfume and Cologne up to 80% off at FragranceX.com </div> In case you are wondering, that's 2 different ad links. One is the code for the banner, the other one is the code for the text link under the picture (banner) The result you saw on the url I gave you above. You do this only that one time, and it will show up on all pages of your blog. Ain't CSS wonderful? Hope that helps you, Ursula      |
