How do I add a policy to my Amazon S3 Bucket?

Question

I'm trying to set up a static website using Amazon AWS S3, and following this guide . However, whenever I try to apply a policy to the root domain bucket so that people can see the website, I get an error.

The guide tells me to copy/paste the following into the Bucket Policy Editor, which I do, and I replace “example.com” with my bucket name as it tells me to do.

{
  "Version":"2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [{
    "Sid": "Allow Public Access to All Objects",
    "Effect": "Allow",
    "Principal": "*",
    "Action": "s3:GetObject",
    "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::example.com/*"
  }
 ]
}

But every time I click “save,” I get a Policy could not be parsed as a valid JSON string error.

Silly Apple Mac TextEdit adds a different type of quotation mark "

Check any quotation marks and retype them in jsonlint.com

Should fix any errors as it did for me.
