I am not so thrilled about this widget anymore. It still works for me. You have to be careful though when placing this widget in your posts or pages using WYSIWYG editor because it can screw up the code. Make sure you are in HTML editor mode when inserting this widget in your posts and pages.

The example doesn’t seem to be working now. I found your site looking to wordpress themes that support the amazon carousel widget – would love to know more.

I was going to but with the feed problem of my website I need to export all my posts, reinstall wordpress, and re-import them. So I was planning on testing it out in a post but haven't yet. Thanks for the info… I'll keep you updated to my experience once I use it.

TrishaLyn,

I am not sure if you still follow this, but I was wondering if you have had a chance to give the carousel widget a try.

I think it takes very long time to load and it's hard to navigate from the page it is on. I wonder if you had anything similar happen.

TrishaLyn,

I also wish the widget had more configuration option. I believe the smallest
size is 400x150 but there is a choice of other "tower" sizes for this
widget, maybe those can work for you.

Thanks for stopping by.

Very cool analysis… It's a huge widget and that's been my beef with it. not sure where to really put it. But I think I have an idea that I'm going to test out.
