[amsat-bb] More on Smiling

The Amazon Smile program only works if you use the smile.amazon version 
of their website (as opposed to the WWW.amazon version).  But if you 
follow a link you find on the net, it will probably take you to the WWW 
version.  You can manually edit the location bar to change to the smiley 
version of the link, but here is a useful snippet to do it for you:

     javascript:void(location.href=window.location.protocol+"//"+
     window.location.host.replace(/^www\.amazon\./,"smile.amazon.")+
     window.location.pathname)

Create a bookmark which links to this piece of JS (all one line, no 
spaces, please).  If you find yourself on an unsmiling Amazon page, 
click the bookmark, and the smiling version of the page opens in it's place.

Seems to work fine on my Firefox browser.  Other browsers may require 
tweeking, but the principle should still be valid.
