Amazon Associate - Testing Mode

Hi,
I'm experimenting with the Amazon associaties goodies. You will notice a bunch of words at the bottom of the forum - apparently this is called a tag cloud and it's supposed to represent the content of this site and link to relevant stuff (I'm not sure it does just yet
) I need to mess around with the other goodies to find the best fit for KW
What's this for? Well I figured that if we buy stuff through Amazon, we may as well do it through something linked to KW. There's a 4% referal fee that goes into the KW coffers that I'd like to use to reward people for their contribution to KW - maybe align with the annual watchies (open to suggestions)
Of course I have no idea if the volume of stuff we purchase through Amazon will amount to much so have no idea what it wll add up to over the course of a year - it may be $1.50 and that's not going to buy much.
I'll add more to this as my thinking evolves

Vain... You know I love you. But seriously... There will eventually be an end to all of this extra crap being put onto the Watch...right?
Call me a minimalist, but the Watch is starting to look like, um, er, something with a lot of extra crap on it.

Do you know how many sites want me to buy my Amazon stuff through their link?
Sorry, but if I use any link, it will be the one for my favorite non-profit.

Not to be a schnook, but...what's one more site then?
Hey, if it helps pay the bills, I don't mind as I'm not on dialup anymore, and neither is Menolly. But if there are still some dialing up, then that seems like a good point in all of this.

And since I will be travelling this weekend, I will be using dial-up to access from my Father-of-Love's place. I will have to see if stuff like this slows down my browsing speed.

some serious problems another board had with this
however, Amazon has supposedly fixed the problem?
It drove me nuts when I had dialup; now that I have a super fast broadband connection it is fine; I do not know if the problem is better or just my connection.

Since all we have here is a link now, does it matter?

You can only go through one site at a time.
