"DAFT" indeed! I have since signed up to be an associate for the Canada and The UK Amazon .. but I'm still at odds how to get this into my blog. For instance, at <a href="http://1800HART.com/picks/" rel="nofollow">http://1800HART.com/picks/</a> I have started a new category, and guess I will just have to have separate posts or duplicate entries ... I certainly do not want to get into the mode of actually mentioning .. This is "For Canadians Only" "For Americans Only" or "For U.K. Only" or something ... It should be global. WE ARE PROMOTING AMAZON ... Meanwhile, that is an interesting script you have on your page. I will have to go create a Wishlist code and learn about that! :) Hi Ben .. “DAFT” indeed!

I provide Amazon users (from all regions) with a way to display their wishlist on their blog or homepage, see below: <a href="http://www.junto.co.uk/Amazon/WishListWidget.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.junto.co.uk/Amazon/WishListWidget.aspx</a> I presumed that the associate ID was global. I was mistaken! I have now had to sign up to every Amazon website as an associate and I have to tag on the correct associate ID depending on which region the customer is in. In my opinion it is completely daft and it is not made obvious when you apply. Anyway, let's hope Amazon "globalise" their software soon! I can't support the Japanese website, because I can't figure out how to sign up as an associate! Ben I have recently had the same problem.
