Need help with Amazon plug-in for WordPress 3.1.3?

    Hi,
    I spent all day trying to get some Amazon plug-ins for WP 3.1.3 to work with no success.
    (I'm using the Wordpress default theme that you get when you first set it up with the sunrise header graphic.)

    I tried 2 different plugins and can't get any of them to show product on my blog.

    I am an Amazon affiliate. I know about the public and private keys & plugged them
    in in the appropriate places. I put my affiliate code in the right place too.

    I added the product AISN (or ISBN-10) code where it's suppose to go.

    I did everything right (I believe), yet nothing shows up on my blog. (I'm hitting 'refresh.' on the blog after each change.)

    So I'm thinking maybe the plug-in may not work w/ WP 3.1.3. Could that be the case? Do
    plug-ins maybe not work with newer versions of WP?

    The first plugin I tried was: "WordPress-Amazon-Associate Version 1.6.0
    Couldn't get this one to work.

    So deactivated & deleted it.
    Then tried this one: Amazon Product In a Post Plugin 2.0.1 (this is the one I really would like
    to use).

    This one even came with detail instructions which I followed & still couldn't get it to work.

    Is anyone using a certain Amazon plug-in in a WP 3.1.3 that's working and you're happy with
    what it does? If so, which one is it? And any quirks about it I would need to know?

    Appreciate any help. Thanks.

    John
