That is a gravatar issue, they are notorious for not being able to deliver email properly. If you test an email to your account from your gmail account, i bet it comes through.
I would suggest you set up another email and test that with gravatar, but like I said this is very much an ongoing issue with their email delivery and has nothing to do with your email account.

Hi everyone.
If I was advertising a beauty brand's product on my blog, could I legally use the picture of their product FROM THEIR SITE on my blog? I have seen others do
If you are affiliate with them yes, otherwise no. You can use their pictures form Amazon if this is what you are doing. In this case, as Amazon's affiliate you might perhaps use their images form their own site, I do this occasionally. This was a statement by Jay in one of his tutorials.
Hi there!
Are you an affiliate of their company? If you are, then it should not be an issue. Then again, you might want to check with the support team of the affiliate network that you are a part of.
Cheers =)
Thank you Farhan! I'm not an affiliate to anything right now, but I'm looking for pictures to put on my blog. My camera quality isn't very good and I really want to use the professional pictures on my blog.
If that's the case, I strongly recommend that you DO NOT use those images. As a general guideline, you shouldn't be using ANY images on the internet without permission.
You are making yourself very vulnerable to being legally sued, and it will cost you tons of money and trouble. Only use images that are in the public domain, or under "free to use" licenses.
Thank you Farhan. What if I take a screenshot of another website and post it? I took a screenshot of the ingredients listed in the product on the company's website. Is that okay?
The same copyright laws will still apply. It is just not worth the trouble. Copyright laws can be very confusing and a lot of it is very "grey". Anyone can just sue you for using their photos without permission, regardless of you making money from it or not.
I suggest you use Google's Image advanced search settings, and look for images that are licensed for "free to use or share, even commercially". Then take a look at the individual licenses for the images, for more details on how you can use them safely.
Your use of the company's images should be included in the terms of your Affiliate Agreement. While it's probably OK to do, you should check the terms to be sure.

I am on lesson 2 of course 2. I was following Kyle's video tutorial until when he added pages to the menu at around 7:28 of the video. The button "Add to Menu" is dark and can'
As Mike says.
Did you select the correct menu name first? Some themes have more than one location for the menu.
You can check the short video below. It shows how to manage menus, Maybe something mentioned there will help.

If that doesn't help, try switching temporarily to the Twenty-Sixteen theme and see if it works in that theme. If it works there, then it could be an issue with your current theme, or a plugin conflict.
Post again to let us know how it goes. If you found the fix, it might help others. ~Jude
Thank you Jude! Your video solved the problem for me! I had to create a menu and type main menu in order for it to work! :)
You're welcome, Grace. Glad it helped. It's easy to overlook actually creating the menu name first.
Thanks for letting us know. Your question might help someone else researching this in the future. ~Jude
Make sure your pages are published and are not still drafts. Also, make sure they are not set to private mode.
If that doesn't solve the problem, type in "add pages to menu" at the very top of this page in the search bar and you will find a bunch of articles that might help.

Hi everyone! My niche is korean beauty products. On my blog, I will review korean beauty products, but also talk about my other interests such as music, games like Pokemon Go,
Stick to one topic on your site that relates to your domain name. Stick to relevant information. Korean Beauty products sounds broad and narrow. Think about a narrow niche that solves a problem.
Hi TJ! Did you mean to say broad, not narrow? And I was thinking Korean beauty products would help people with skin problems.
Korean beauty products is a good idea. Johnwai is correct. Make this the primary focus of your site. I do like the idea of having a page for 'My Other Interests'.
Build a site concentrating on Korean Beauty products. Making videos and doing make up tutorials would also be good. You will get a lot of inspiration from youtube.
Every so and often include your other interests and somehow incorporate it into your Korean Beauty product reviews.
Or you can just have a section called "my other interests" on your page. But be sure to make Korean beauty your main focus though and that you are the guru to go to when it comes to Korean beauty products.
But you get the idea.
I would agree as as well. Make Korean Beauty products your main business, and then somehow use some of your interests to market your business or you can just put that in your bio. I look forward to checking out your website! With all the best. -Hyir
Sorry for the late reply. I say CraigOs answering your question in chat. Let me know if you need anything.
John,
With your interest in music you can put a music player on your site. But must have controls to mute music. Or if you every make youtube videos use music you like in it.
Nothing stopping you from adding game characters here and there to decorate your site.
With regards to college life you can write about what Korean beauty products are fit for which purpose or conditions in college life etc....
Again the focus is Korean Beauty Products but think of ways to tie it in with interests you have. But never let other interests dominate your Korean Beauty site contents.
Does that makes sense ?
The Korean beauty products would make a good niche. However, the music and games is unrelated and should be left out or handled in a different website or forum.
Laura
Thanks Laura. I thought I could create a blog where I can talk about all of my personal interests, the main one being korean beauty products. I think that talking about the things I love would be good for building trust with readers and leading them to korean beauty products.
