And now you may be wondering what this image is here, it's actually not an image, we think it would be an image of the icon or of the application of of an album cover, it's actually just a little iTunes button. Click on that and get a link here and we can test it out. You type the name of an application, select applications, do a search and now we can scroll here and see we can link to either the application directly or the developer. Suppose we want to link just to an application. If we want to do an even better test we can copy the link and paste it up above and what will happen now is it will launch iTunes, take you to the store, and jump right to that page, in this case it's the artist's page here listing all the albums. Now we can test this out by clicking on this test button here. It includes an image too as well and you can go ahead and paste that into your blog or you can just copy the actual link here if you're going to say send it to someone in an email. And when we click on it, it takes us to this page here where we can copy and paste a full link as if you are going to put it into your blog. We can link to the individual song by clicking on this little arrow here to the right of the song, we can select the album by clicking this arrow, or the group by clicking on this one. So we can select any one of these as a link. Now in this case we have the song names and album and an artist. When you hit search, you get a list of all the items it found. You can specify the media type or just leave it blank. So, for instance, let's search for some music. You can choose the country of the store that you want and then you can type in the search term. That redirects you to a more complex url here, and you get a form that you can fill out.
