I have started to integrate the new Amazon Search Interface on some of the WiredPages. Not on the home page-- see this post, however several others:

You will note- I replaced the NS&J Forums Login area in the sidebar of those pages that are now using the Amazon Search Widget, as shown in the following illustration.

I actually like the pages with the new interface, better than those with the forum login area [think it is the lighter background]-- however do not want to get tied down to one advertising vehicle for all pages.

I am going after fraud- that the FBI and DOJ cannot ignore. So until I see how things go-- some pages will have the old login area and others will have the Amazon interface.

Found another bug [Amazon Widget]-- which I corrected this morning... the pull menu was not updating after being switched. You should find this problem is no longer an issue.

Also note the interface can be set to have item[s] displayed when the page is first called. This is a simple setting in the html of the page.

I will go into more detail about the statistics in the sidebar [upper right] for my Amazon Associates account at a later date. That said-- all of the interfaces on this blog and WiredPages-- are connected to my Amazon Associates account and the stats are based on the new interface.
