Hi Guys, just a quick question. When on the home page I click on "your image" under the IOTW I am taken to Amazon. not sure if this should happen or if it's due to the net problems I'm having. Regards Stevef

Those highlighted words, are linked to some advertisement; I suppose it is a way to make a bit of money.

There were a lot more in the past, now they don't seem so obvious anymore.

Sorry about those random links.  They are automatically added by Viglink (https://www.viglink.com/?vgref=69877) which I use for affiliation, just to help with the hosting costs.  Unfortunately it very often links to stuff which isn't relevant to what you're reading.  Wouldn't be so bad if it actually generated any money, but it doesn't here.  It does however work nicely on my guitarist site which pays for the hosting of CC as well atm.

If any of you run blogs or sites it's actually a good system, and worth a try.  I'll look into fine tuning the links so they're less intrusive if I can.  ;)

Since I found out some time ago, I simply ignore the highlights, and don't really 'see' them anymore. They don't bother me at all.

Poor thing! You missed it, Mick must have changed it. It has indeed gone.

But, if you go to the images at the bottom of the front page (Strobist rss), you can see it in the blurb with the flower picture, where 'X-Pro2' as well as 'single speedlight' are highlighted.
(I don't know if they will be highlighted in this post, till I post it.)
