:: Introducing Professional Portfolio For Professional Members ::
Professional Portfolio is a new option for Professional Members which makes
their entire portfolio advertising-free to any viewer. Whether it's a random site
visitor or a Writing.Com free account holder viewing their portfolio, no banner or
pop-up advertising is delivered!

In addition, the Port Surf feature has been incorporated into the Professional
Portfolio system. Quick and complete access to the author's entire portfolio is
provided to all of their visitors on the left hand side of each of their items!

The ad-free nature and portfolio navigation work hand in hand to give our
Professional Members a much more PROFESSIONAL look! We've setup
Writing.Com Support with the Professional Portfolio so that all members
can see this new system in action.

:: The New "Amazon" WritingML Tag ::
Members who wish to highlight products from Amazon.Com without providing a
full product review can use our new Amazon WritingML tag! This tag is useful
for creating a recommended reading list, citing references in a static item or
book report, highlighting related reading and much more. Members can also
use the tag to plug their favorite books, music or DVDs within their signatures!

Using the Amazon Tag supports Writing.Com! When someone purchases a
product from Amazon.Com after clicking on a link from one of these ML tags,
Writing.Com earns a small commission.

To create an Amazon tag, all you need is the product's ASIN. ASIN stands for
"Amazon.com Standard Item Number." Every item in Amazon.Com's catalog
has a unique ASIN - for books, the ASIN is the same as the ISBN. The tag is
created as follows:
         {amazon:XXXXXXXXXX}
Simply replace the XXXXXXXXXX from the above example with the actual
10 character ASIN of the product you want to highlight.

Example #1; The tag {amazon:0743455967} will produce:

ASIN: 0743455967	On Writing Product Type: Book
	Amazon's Price: $ 9.97 Buy Now!

Example #2; The tag {amazon:0062720465} will produce:

ASIN: 0062720465	Self-Editing for Fiction Writers: How to Edit Yourself into Print Product Type: Book
	Amazon's Price: $ 16.72 Buy Now!

All members can use the Amazon WritingML Tag. Complete help for
WritingML can be found in the Author Tools pull down menu and is
linked as WritingML Help.
