Add your Amazon Wishlist to Blogger in 3 easy steps


Step 1: Create an Amazon widget.

Go to https://widgets.amazon.co.uk/Amazon-Wishlist-Widget/ (change amazon.co.uk to your Amazon site) and sign with your Amazon Associates details in to earn referral fees.



No account? No worries, just sign up to earn fees or skip the sign up and search for your Amazon wishlist. You can search for an Amazon wishlist by name or email, then pick the Amazon wishlist you want and use the wizard to give your list a name, tweak the colour, size etc. (I used a width of 200 px. which fits neatly in my Blogger side bar).

Click "Add to my Web page" to generate the Amazon wishlist widget code, copy and save your wishlist widget.



Step 2: Create a Blogger widget

In Blogger, go to the layout section of your blog and add a HTML/Javascript widget to the section you'd like it to appear in. I put mine in the side bar.



Paste your Amazon wishlist widget code and add a title if you'd like. I left the title blank as the Amazon wishlist widget already has one. Save your Blogger HTML/Javascript widget.


Step 3: Preview, tweak & save

Preview to check the Amazon wishlist widget shows up and is sized and positioned properly. You can go back and edit your Amazon wishlist widget as many times as you'd like and use the Blogger preview to refresh till it looks right. Save the layout to update your blog.



Add Amazon wishlist to Blogger - done!
