As I wrote in a previous tutorial, adding an Amazon store to your WordPress website is best accomplished (in my opinion) by using Associate-O-Matic. Just to be clear, this is not a plugin.

I’ll let you see all the details for yourself, but it’s truly amazing! In a Nutshell Google assigns you a phone number (you get to [...]
I want to share a code snippet I recently learned about from following the action (online) at WordCamp Montreal. This is a function written by Stephanie Leary and was presented in her slideshow available here. This function allows you to add/remove/edit the available fields in the Contact Info area of a WordPress user’s Profile page. [...]
I run the website for my neighborhood association. No wait. Let me rephrase that…I am the guy who developed a website to facilitate the needs of my neighborhood association. It was never my intention to write posts about the neighborhood happenings or to document the minutes from the association’s monthly meetings. My position (as I [...]
