10. Format your blog, here is what I did. I inserted a big image. Under it, I inserted 2 space bars, then dragged and dropped the space bar to make 2 columns. Then I inserted the code block under the left hand column, and a text box under the right hand column. Then I copied the HTML code from Amazon Associates and pasted into the code area.
