Affiliate Links In WP POSTS, (not side bar)

by YP
3 replies
Hi

As part of my blog, I want to review books, and include an amazon affiliate link to the book actually within the blog post bit.

It seems these links are only accepted in the sidebars through widgets.

Is there a way around this?

Many thanks for any comments

    You can switch to HTML view when composing a post and use the regular hyperlink HTML syntax to create a link.

    Code:
    <a href="http://www.youraffiliatelink.com">Product being promoted</a>
    Signature
    HTML/PSD to WP and WordPress Setup

    If you have the ISBN of the book you want to link, there are plug-ins (not sidebar widgets), that will let you put a short code like this:

    [shortcode]

    where you want the link to appear.
