Here’s an interesting and potentially useful plugin for your Wordpress blog. It is called Amazonify.

Here’s what it does.

Let’s say you want to write about a new book that interests you. Let’s use Wordpress for Dummies by Lisa Sabin-Wilson. This is a new early 2008 release and I use it a lot for reference. It’s all about how to personalize Wordpress settings, getting to know how to use the template tags, dealing with spam and trackbacks, managing comments and a whole lot more.

Best of all it is written for the novice as well as the experts. After all, you always can use a reminder. The book also deals with the Multi-user version, WordpressMU. It’s a good read and an important reference to have beside you when working with Wordpress.

Now you want to show everyone where you can get this handy reference guide easily, quickly and where you will get a small commission for recommending Wordpress for Dummies. From Amazon of course.

Now one line of code brings up the ad you see at the left. You can assign the Amazon product code, in this case 0470149469; the alignment for the ad such as left, right or center; the type of ad to be displayed such as an image and text ad like you see here, or a text only ad Wordpress for Dummies which would appear in a sentence like this.

Your Amazon ID is automaticaly inserted so Amazon can track the sale for commission purposes.

I recommend this plugin, which is free and available from Gara Systems. Of course I highly recommend Wordpress for Dummies too.
