Do I really need a astore? Can I use a widget instead?

I just signed up with amazon today. I'm not toclear how it all works yet. I designed a widget that I would like to use on one of my blogs.
I this possible? And if so-
Where do I generate the html code?

 

Just login Amazon and click the links/widgets and it pretty much self explains... easy.
I tried astore got zero results doing much better with the widgets

 

Go to Build Links/Widgets page in your amazon associate.
Select the widgets you want and then click Add to your Web page.The code will generated for you.

 

Thanks,
Pretty easy once you get it. I like the look of the new widgets.
Works well with a blog.

 

Yes, I use text links and Omkase the most. I've just begun to mess around with an astore, but it is more of a secondary feature.
