Published my first Windows Live Writer plugin: Amazon Book Linker v1.0
Well, after using Windows Live Writer as my default blogging platform for quite some time, I decided to play around with the provided API to build a little plugin which will speed up the process of finding and linking books from Amazon directly to a blog post.
Amazon Book Linker v1.0 is a free plugin for Windows Live Writer which provides many innovative functionalities for searching and linking books from Amazon on your blog post. It allows you to specify your own Amazon Associate Tag to every link (you only have to provide this information once, and the plugin will remember it next time) so that you can make a sales commission out of a direct sale from one of the links. Furthermore, it empowers the HTML ninja (or ninjette) to also customize the HTML template to better match the link layout to your own design. In order to assist you with this process, the plugin also lists you a series of predefined macros to use. You can also choose your preferred Amazon locale (US, CA, CO.UK, JP, FR or DE) too!
For more information, I’ll invite you to check the brand new Projects page on this site. Meanwhile, here are a few screenshots.
Now that this little project is out the door, I can resume posting new ideas on our beloved craft and technologies.
