Putting book in Signature

dennis7490 · Aug 11, 2012

Hi,
I did this twice before successfully, but it isn't working now.
I do the:
User CP
Edit signature

then i go to Kindle to "Make a Link" and copy the link.

But when I paste it into the signature my book title is not there, and the cover of the book does not come up, only the link., and I AM copying the proper link that includes the cover in Kindle.

Help!

Thanks,

Dennis

Before you paste in the link, do you remove the http part in the box that is already there (if you're pasting the full link anyway)?

Before making a link you need to select an item for the link to attach to, and the link should be a url only. So if you want a linked picture. you need to upload and select the cover art first

If it's The Knowing (I followed your links to Amazon) then to get this,

you'd put this code into your sigline:

[url=http://www.amazon.com/THE-KNOWING-ebook/dp/B005DHNQ3I/ref=sr_1_3?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1344694912&sr=1-3][img]http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41yQm%2BP83IL._AA115_.jpg[/img][/url]

The full size cover image looked too big, I just took the little thumbnail .jpg and put this inside img tags, inside the URL, as above.
