A strange request part II

O.K After much debugging and almost killing the blog a couple of times I think I’ve got this all figured out. Now once again I need the help of our international readership to tell me if this actually works in the way I think it should.
Basically to the right you should see an image of The Lost Fleet by Jack Campbell / John G. Hemry and theoretically if you click on it it should send you to Amazon.co.uk if you are British or Irish and Amazon.com if you are from anywhere else in the world.
If you could tell me whether this works or not I would be eternally grateful to you all. Thanks.
By the way if anyone else is interested in doing something similar on their blog I’d be quite happy to show you how it’s done (if it works that is) although be warned every amazon picture link inside a post ends up as a 22 line block of code.

Got the US link, no problem. Have the book already, problem.

Yes, works fine here in Settle.

Ya it works over here in Yankee-land aka Wisconsin.

It works on the site itself, but through Netvibes it comes up as USian. I doubt that can be worked around, though…?

Ditto SCG’s comment; in Newsgator it links to .com, but if I click thru it’s .co.uk - I also doubt there’ll be a way around it, though. Good work, BTW, site looks really good - it’s high time I sorted out a new theme for VCTB.

Yeah don’t think I’m gonna get it working through the feed but as long as it does on the site that’s cool. The readership’s about 5/6th American anyhow so defaulting to .com isn’t such a great tragedy really

No problem on this end. (can I get a cookie instead of the eternal gratitude?)
