Thanks for the message Michael.

Please bear with me because I am new to this kind of thing so don't have any idea how this works. I don't know that it's okay to use other plug ins.

Cinderella,

I will always be here.

How did you make out with the image compression plugin.

We work together at WA, so we all will be successful.

Diane, is a wonderful person and very knowledgeable.

You are making great success, be proud of your accomplishments.

Michael

Thanks for the encouragement Michael, I really appreciate it.

I'd like to consider "Smush" just as you suggested. But at this point where I am literally starting from scratch, I think it's easier for me to go on with Kraken since it's the available plug in.

Diane is a great person ready to help others just like you. She said Kraken must be activated since the option is "deactivate" and I believe she's right.

I need a second opinion from you so I can go on with the task.

Thank you.

Cinderella

Hi Cinderella,

Just catching up on my e-mails. Sorry for the delay in replying to you.

All I ask from you is to keep me up to date. You are a winner in my books.

Also do me a favor, look in that mirror and say, "Cinderella you are doing great".

Affirmations are important to success.

Your friend,
Michael

I will, Michael. Thanks.

Yes Diane, there's Kraken installed but the option is "Deactivate | Settings" so I could not tick the box.
I'm supposed to "activate," right?

Hi Diane...how can I activate Kraken?

Hi - if the only options for Kraken are deactivate or uninstall, then it must already be activated.

Will Ewww be automatically replaced with Kraken or do I need to deactivate it and install Kraken?
Thank you,
Michelle

Ah okay, so it's automatically activated then. Thanks Diane!:)

Hi - I don't know. The training is being re-written for new starters to say that Kraken is the preferred image optimizer, but whether we should all be using it, isn't clear.

Have you changed yourself from EWWW?

Hi - not on my older sites as yet. I have actually created a new site today which has Kraken automatically installed, so I am going to see what features it has first. Plus, I would like to see Kyle's training on it, to see why it is now the default optimizer.
