I'm fine with links on the links page, whether it be a vendor-supplied button-graphic thing, or just a plain, old HTML link. I wouldn't like my own link in a post edited to an affiliate link. That would squick me. I realize it was just brain-storming, and it was good brainstorming, at that, but still, I wouldn't like it.
Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

Can you do affiliate links to Amazon.ca & .co.uk ?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
All sorts of places, it seems, have affiliate programs.
I would suggest, if you have a site you shop at, or think people here shop at -- google their name and affiliate program, and come back here with the link, and we can accumulate the possibles.

I have no problem with affiliate links, though I'd prefer no logos. And it would be great if we could affiliate with indie sites like CDBaby and powells.com as well as Amazon.

Don't forget .com.au.
Edit: x-post with ita. I don't have time at work right now to look up these sites.
Also, looks like there is no Amazon.com.au--my mistake.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Yes, DX, that was the notion, and, yes, it sneaky and underhanded and otherwise a bad idea because it means all kinds of tricky coding and a table of crossreferences.
Meaning that Microsoft probably already has a patent on it, anyway.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The discussion on how to bookmark a post above reminded me to ask - is there any way to notate a marked post? That way I can tell the difference between my "not work friendly, check this at home" posts from Teppy quiche recipe without clicking all over?
