BellaOnline Forums Travel and Culture RV Is my face red!

I posted my new article yesterday and sent out the newsletter promoting it...however, I made a little faux pas. When I wrote the article, the Amazon link to the book I was reviewing was an active link with new books to purchase for $14.95. I did a quick review of the site this am and to my horror, the book advertised by Amazon was over $40! Yikes! This was for "used" books only, they had obviously sold out the new and would not be offering the new books anymore. It was certainly not my intention...recommending a $40 book. I quickly removed the link and added the publisher's link where the book can be purcahsed for $14.95.

This editor has learned a very important lesson...double check the links to make sure they are correct!

humbly put in her place...

Dennise, glad you caught that mistake, when you did

Dennise,
good grief, don't feel bad. At least you've figured out how to place an ad - right or wrong! I don't know why I have been able to master just about all of the bella training but this area. I cant seem to find information about exactly WHERE to place the ad and how. I've got the picture and the url but now what? Do I add it to the article text when I post a new article? I admit I'm lost on this one.

Hi Lea! Sorry I have been offline for a couple of days...we have been traveling.

The ads go at the end of your article. I had a lot of problems with this too! Sometimes I think I know alot about things and then I get humbled very quickly. For the only ads I have added, I went to Amazon and got the html code...it's very easy to copy and paste(I think they even give you a box to click on and it copies the text for you..). I had a problem adding a simple picture!

Maybe we can post in the editor forum and get some hints, LOL!

thanks Denise, I'll try that on my article for tomorrow and see if I can do it. I may be back here crying to you! ha ha

I am pleased about the interesting contributions and would like to express my radix complement in addition. This post is just great. Just keep on writing these kinds of posts.

Hi Stv Steve, just want to welcome you to the forum, we hope that you enjoy your stay!
