Kraken Image Optimizer comes as standard on the WP sites as a free member, which pretty much does the same job - Apparently there are certain plugins you can only add as a premium member (which I was unaware of, at time of recording) - so apologies for the misinformation - The Kraken one, will do the same job for you. Hope that helps. You can certainly start blogging with the plugins you currently have and this should not prevent you from moving forward with your blogging venture :) All the best. Richard

Jamie, I am back from a short trip abroad - Let me check with Support today and I'll get right back to you, as soon as I have an answer :)

Hi - you have posted this in an open classroom. I presume you are trying to contact your mentor.

However, I don't think he will be able to help you, as only premium members can add extra plug-ins to their websites. As a free starter, you can only use the ones you are supplied with, such as the Kraken Image Optimizer. (This is in place of EWWW Optimizer, by the way.)
