In reply to: [Amazon Link] Using this plugin for a direct link on AmazonThank your for the response. I made the change you suggested to the Thumbnail template and changed the Text widget. I’ve included both below. The two thumbnails show show but one is still above the other. You can see how it looks at http://www.janetchristian.com. I REALLY appreciate your help on this.
Thumbnail template code:
<div class=”alignleft” class=”al_found%FOUND%”>
%LINK_OPEN%<img alt=”%TITLE%” title=”%TITLE%” src=”%THUMB%” class=”%IMAGE_CLASS%”>%LINK_CLOSE%
<img src=”http://www.assoc-amazon.%TLD%/e/ir?t=%TAG%&l=as2&o=%MPLACE_ID%&a=%ASIN%” width=”1″ height=”1″ border=”0″ alt=”” style=”border:none !important; margin:0px !important;” />
</div>Text widget:
[amazon asin=1477699597&title=The Case of a Cold Trail and a Hot Musket (paperback)&thumb=http://janetchristian.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Mariana-Thumbnail-paperback.png&template=thumbnail]

In reply to: [Amazon Link] Using this plugin for a direct link on AmazonThat worked! Thank you. Is there an easy way to get the link to open in a new page?
One other thing because I’ve searched everywhere but the html seems more complicated than what I want. Now that the thumbnail is working I decided to add two of them, side by side. One to link to my paperback; the other to my Kindle version. I’ve created two separate thumbnail images and modified the Text code. I included the amazon widget code twice. But what happens is the two images are stacked. I’ve searched and found a variety of html solutions but none have worked. I would not be surprised if I am just including them wrong, but I have had no luck. I even tried a   before the second &amazon= but that didn’t work.
Here is what I have in the Text widget now:

In reply to: Theme: Catch Kathmandu — two issues with colorI’m bumping this because it’s been two days and I truly need help. It’s slid way down the list at this point and I fear no one will see it.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Catch Kathmandu] Home Page White SpaceI have the same question. My site url is chisholmtrailballroom.com. The unused header space is so large that the contact button doesn’t show at the bottom of the page. A potential client must scroll down to see the contact button.

In reply to: Difficulty adding a new themeAargh! You are right — the blog I just created is on wordpress.com. I didn’t even realize both existed. OK, now what? I already purchased the new theme. I’m a novice at this (I was an expert at GoLive so having to start all over is very frustrating). I appreciate help on what I need to do now so I can use my new theme with my blog.

In reply to: Can't get new menu options to show up — Ubud templateThanks. I went through their step-by-step and it still isn’t working for me. I’m really hoping it’s operator error but can’t figure out what I’m doing.

In reply to: Slider not workingI figured out how to get the pictures to alternate but now cannot get the pictures I choose to be the ones that display. I have contacted MyThemeShop to see if they can help, since I bought the theme from them.

In reply to: Slider not workingI am using the Softpress theme (V 1.0) on WordPress 3.8.1. Here’s the demo of that theme: http://demo.mythemeshop.com/s/?theme=SoftPress
The slider is inherent in the theme — it was not a plugin I added. You can see it at http://www.janetchristian.com — the picture of me sitting at the table is supposed to be the cropped one.

In reply to: [Cyclone Slider] Slider Not CyclingCan someone explain what is meant by “switching the setting from footer to header”? My slider is also not rotating correctly. In my case the two oldest posts cycle but the two newest do not (I have four total posts). Please help!
