Does anyone know how to add an amazon wishlist to your LJ userinfo page?

Well, you could put a link to it in your bio; I just tried it with mine (I took it out after I made sure it worked), and it worked fine. If you need more help with this, let me know, and send me a pointer to your wish list if you can.

[open angle bracket]a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/wishlist/ref=cm_wl_topnav_gateway/103-2338000-5487806"[close angle bracket] This is my Amazon wishlist [open angle bracket]/a[close angle bracket]

somewhere in it. The part which says 'This is my Amazon wishlist' can say anything you want, but it will show up as a link (in other words, it will be blue or purple, depending when you last visited the page). All the other text (

don't get the widescreen version of the LOTR: TT cause the special extended version is shipping in a few weeks and believe me, you want the extended version.
