    <title>Quick Amazon Direct URL Generator</title>
    <link>http://www.jamesraposa.com/index/2005/12/18#amazon_direct_link_bookmarklet</link>
    <description>I was tired of schlepping (spelling?) over to Amazon to re-familiarize myself with how to set up a direct url to a single product, so I created this little bookmarklet:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='javascript:void(am_id=&quot;YourAmazonAffiliateIDHere&quot;);void(am_isbn=&quot;&quot;);void(am_id=prompt(&quot;Enter your Amazon affiliate id&quot;,am_id));if (am_id != null) {void(am_isbn=prompt(&quot;Enter the ISBN number of the book&quot;,am_isbn));if ( (am_isbn != null) &amp;&amp; (am_isbn != &quot;&quot;) ) {void(url=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?link_code=as2&amp;path=ASIN/&quot; + am_isbn + &quot;&amp;tag=&quot; + am_id);  void(prompt(&quot;Here is your direct Amazon url, courtesy of JamesRaposa.com\n(Ctrl-C to capture it)&quot;,url));}}'&gt;Create Amazon Url&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It works as is, by clicking on it, or just left-click on it and drag it up to your browser's toolbar and it will be saved there for whenever you need it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once it's on the tool bar, right-click on its icon and left-click on the Properties menu selection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When that comes up, you just have to change where it says &quot;YourAmazonAffiliateIDHere&quot;, to be your actual Amazon affiliate id.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy Holidays!</description>
