Step1
Create your aStore. You need an Amazon Associates account, which you can register for free on Amazon.com. Pick some products for your aStore that complement the content of your blog.
Step2
Decide where you want to place your aStore in your blog. There is a short HTML code that you will have to use in order to embed your aStore. This is not a problem for most blog sites and blogging software. You can embed the aStore into a blog entry or somewhere more permanent on your blog.
Step3
Copy the HTML code from your aStore settings. Login to your Amazon Associates page and click on the aStore link. Click the "Get Link" button, select the inline frame option in the web form and press the "Highlight HTML" button. Right-click on the selection and choose "Copy."

Paste the HTML code into your blog. Find a place where you can insert the HTML code, whether in an entry or somewhere permanent. Right-click and choose the "Paste" option.
Step5
Preview your blog to make sure your aStore appears. If it does, save and publish your blog. If not, check your HTML code and make sure that the area in which you are entering it is compatible with HTML code.

Tips & Warnings

  • You can link to your aStore from your blog if you do not want to embed it. You can find the link in the same place that you got the HTML code in your aStore settings.
