Instead of having you wonder, I thought I'd just explain what it does. It's actually quite cool if you want to play around with it. It never ceases to amaze me what they're programming into little web parts these days.
Anyhow, I initially integrated a little content searching thingy earlier in the day. The problem is that those kinds of things are unpredictable and could end up feeding inappropriate content. Bob Vigneault got a lingerie listing as an example.
I found this other module that allows you to actually search for items within Amazon right on the little module there. Thus, if you're looking for an item and want to price it out, you can see it right there in that window. Clicking on it will then take you to Amazon.
Why?
I'm not trying to be crass here but it will actually help defray some hosting expenses. I want it to be non-intrusive and not destroy the feel of the site. The prices are what you'll find directly on Amazon. The benefit to the board is that an item you would already purchase gives us a small affiliate income that will help in our hosting expenses.
I'm going to use some of the "white space" below the Amazon store thingy to start promoting some of the Reformed works of our dedicated small Reformed publishers here as well.
Anyhow, I hope the little Amazon thingy is not too intrusive and might actually be useful as you guys might be thinking about buying an item anyway and want to find out how much it costs.
Let me know what you think.
