      Oh nothing in particular happened. There's just a big old windbag around here who many seem to love and I swear when this person writes what comes out is (IMO) inevitably the most judgmental, badly written pile of windbaggery I've ever seen. LOL Every time I see this person post it bugs the crap out of me...probably sort of irrational LOL
      
      I generally avoid even responding to this person's posts because I just can't control myself when I read their stuff.

    Captain Cooper off island right now but has been put off by Rayn time and time again, won't like it that there is a new man in town so to speak. He captains a privateer so not a full fledged pirate. Kind of scraggly reddish brown hair, grey eyes, been sniffing around Rayn for years but she isn't having any of it and in comes Duncan/Calvin to sweep her off her feet.
    
    But I'm working on doing some LinkSharing this morning so not really there yet.

    I imagine you could put an external link or two to their site. Might want to check they may have an affiliate program, I haven't checked for that one.

       Hmm...See, now, I'm lost. Do you mean I just include a link to their site in my Hubs? Do I need their permission for that?
       
       ETA: What will that do for me?
       
       LOL that sounds kinda egotistical...LOL

    Now that I have the amazon thing set up...all I have to do is add amazon capsule to the hubs and decide what I want in them, is that correct?

    Yep that is all you have to do GS. I checked at 13moons and didn't find an affiliate program but you could put an external link or two like I said in the verbiage, just don't go hogwild as HP will flag it.

    You highlight the word say spider rings in your hub and then you can click on the chain in the tool bar and that will bring up a window to place the http for 13moons, save and continue writing your hub and no you don't need their permission.

    Yep Justine that is how it is done. You just don't want to do too many per hub or have all your hubs with them going to the same source. HP will flag it. I believe the limit is 2 per hub to the same source.

                   I have had to buy like, six copies of the hungry caterpillar for my youngest. Shes OBSSESSED with bugs. I think she'll be an entemologist when she grows up, no kidding.  Eric Carle is awesome.

                               well, just stick my name at the bottom of the photo then. courtesy of Justine or something.  I dont think linking bug hubs to my hubs makes alot of sense, for you? And like I said, I dont have adsense so it doesnt matter how many views I get.
