I guess the toughest challenge I have is Proper Grammar. English was not a favorite class in school and I can really tell by reading my posts/pages. I know I'll get better as t

Great question and you have all great answers, with which I agree.
Good learning.
Cheers.
Sheree.

I have used Grammarly to check for attribution when writing literary stories. It has good advice about everything in writing.

Personally, I think it's more important to be genuine and true to 'who' you are. Write from the heart.

First, I'm a huge proponent of always improving oneself. So I love that you are seeing a deficit and working toward improvement.

Of course, unless you are doing it because you truly want to, I think a better yield is focusing on one's strengths, not weaknesses.

That is to say, I'm not a proponent of working on my "weaknesses" unless it's something I passionately feel I have to improve because I want to and it will make me a better [whatever].

An example: A person that hangs dry wall isn't going to work on his electrical skills, it won't make him better at hanging sheet rock. However, doing some strength training and hand eye coordination exercises may just help him work faster with higher quality.

That said, here are some resources: https://prowritingaid.com/art/111/10-websites-to-help-improve-your-grammar.aspx

You can also use MS Word and turn on the grammar feature. Just make sure when you copy and paste you don't take all of words nasty formatting. Copy and paste it into notepad before you put it in your blog or better yet, use the toggle on the toolbar of your editor to just paste text.

HTH.

HTH..Thank You...Of course your right. Its far better to build on Strengths and all else will work itself out.

Most of us aren't english majors Clayton so you don't have to worry about being a perfect writer, just as long as you have the basic grammar down, it'll be enough.

You do make life with Wealthy Affiliate pretty darn simple and I Thank You my friend. English class always stressed me out.

I agree, never did like to define what's a verb, adjective, noun, ect...

verb? You mean like basil or garlic? :P

I use Grammerly and I love it.
There is a free version and it is priceless.

www.grammarly.com

It´s very, very good, so good that I decided to buy it.

I have downloaded and will try to use it as soon as created content for my website. having grammar issues as English is not my native language.

When I leverage content (Profile) to my site...its all messed up and does not look like my profile page in WA. Any ideas ?
Clayton

This might not be the fault of WA at all. Check for virus and anti spam protection.

Clayton, please be more specific. When you say leverage, do you mean you copy/paste information on your blog from your WA profile page or do you just link to your WA profile page from your site?

Link my Profile to my site...I just checked it...it looks good...however you can get into classrooms, videos ...everything. Kyle said (in tutorial) no one could have access to WA info. if we linked content to our site.

As long as it's working now, that's all that matters!

Hello....I'm trying to find the little "Join Here" button to put on my pages, also the "Continue Reading" button. Thank You
Clayton

Make your own buttons

You can either download it from an image site Clayton, or make it in microsoft paint and just link it to a page.

Hi Vitaliy... you must read my latest WA post :) *smile*

I always do :)

Stalking me huh? I kinda like that, like a mommy hovering over her chicks hahaha

Thank You VitaliyG...that worked

Well I do "follow you" via the WA button so I get email alerts when you post :)

The read more button is in your editing post section at the top. See picture below. As far as the join now button. I have to agree with LynnHuy because the only ones I know about for promoting WA is under affiliate program and banners.

Thank You...I'll try that.
Clayton

Hey Clayton

I think people probably made their own? All you need is an image and then you add a link...

Thanks....Clayton

How do I put Building Website in Under 30 in my pages ?

Here is the link to the video how to build a website under 30 seconds on Youtube
https://youtu.be/NbaPsv1OFo4

You can embed it there, and more videos of Kyle are available

You really can't because you can't "embed it", but you can copy an image using screenshot of the video and link it to the tutorial on building the website in under 30 seconds.

Ok..Thank You...is screenshot on the dashboard or a plugin ?
Clayton

Screenshot or save the image and put the link to the actual tutorial. See jmatos reply.

I don't believe this is an actual banner. You have to copy and paste the image. Then include your affiliate link which you can get on the at that page.

Thank You...I'll check that out.
