   I hadn't tried this since upgrading to WP2 but I wanted to link to a CD I posted about today -- not that anyone ever actually buys anything through my website, but the picture is always nice to have. However, whether I just c+p'd into the WYSWYG editor or into the HTML editor, the iframe code (which I absolutely hate anyway) got all mucked up and half of it kept disappearing.

   Is there a trick to doing this now?

   What about that WP-Amazon plugin? Does that work with WP2?

   TIA!

   (Oh, this is at http://nmallory.exit-23.net, if anyone is interested...I know it has to work somehow because I have the now-reading plugin working in the sidebar.)

   I've been having the same problem. With 1.5, I'd either just plop my iframes into the code, or I'd span them to get them positioned how I like. Once I upgraded to 2.0.2, mucho weirdness.

   Existing posts display properly and without so long as I don't muck around with them.

   Trying to insert new links, either in the edit window or in the HTML window, breaks the pages. One effect: all the contents after the insert disappear. More commonly: the contents of a post from after the iframe insert to some point into the contents of the next post don't display...they effectively disappear; with the formatting of the page breaking (in my case, the main wp contents flowing into the sidebar).

   Since I shouldn't have to work this hard to make something that worked before work again, I'm simply going back to 1.5 for the time being...it's less frustrating. I am looking forward to seeing any good solutions come out of this.

   I added several Amazon Associate links into the body of a post. Came back to my blog later and the menu options on the right had all disappeared. Deleted the Amazon code and the PRESTO - the menu items reappeared. Looking forward to trying out the plug-in. I hope it works.

   If anyone has any stories about using the plg-in with Amazon Associates, I would love to hear them.

   cheers - Ryan
