Cannot Change The Label Position in My Blogger Template

I have several blogger templates and I have been trying to change the label position from below the title to below the body of my blog:





This picture belongs to my Non Verbal Communication and Body Language Blogger Blog.

I go to the Layout Tab and select Page Elements. I click the Edit Button on the Blog Post Element and I relocate the Label Gadget below the body of my blog post. However, when I save the changes nothing happens. The Label still appears below the title of my post as shown in the picture above.

If this happens we can always modify the html code directly going to the Layout Label and then selecting Edit HTML.

You should look for the following code which refers to the Label Gadget on your template:

<span class='post-labels'>
<b:if cond='data:post.labels'>
<data:postLabelsLabel/>
<b:loop values='data:post.labels' var='label'>
<a expr:href='data:label.url' rel='tag'><data:label.name/></a><b:if cond='data:label.isLast != &quot;true&quot;'>,</b:if>
</b:loop>
</b:if>
</span>

...and PASTE in under the 1st Post footer line:

<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'>

Before saving the changes, you can preview your template so that you make sure you've done it properly. You may then go ahead and save your template.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Cannot Log In To My Amazon Associates Account

This is not the first time that I am getting this error message when I try to log in to my Amazon Associates Account:

"The e-mail address and password you are using are not connected to an Associates account. If your Associates e-mail address or password is different from the one used with your Amazon.com customer account, please log in here. If you still have problems logging in, please contact us."

I am surprised to find in forums all over the web, that this is a recurring problem. I have found posts since 2005.

When I try to have my password reset I get the error message that my email address does not belong to one of Amazon's Account.

Both times I had this problem I was able to have a satisfactory response after exchanging a few emails with an Amazon Affiliate Program Rep at account-update@amazon.com helping me reset the password.

If you have had this problem please leave me your comment and let me know how it worked for you.
