where are the promo graphics to place on my website?

If you have the ability to take an onscreen image, you can also use a snapshot of your posts.
Dave

I do and thanks for the heads-up, Dave.

You'll find them in My Stats > Banners in the main menu. Craig (@welshy) has also kindly made some available here: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/ecovers-images-to-promote-wa-resources-blog-post :) Rich.

You go, Rich. Thank you and Craig.

You can also "embed" some of the WA videos on your site. If you right-click on them you'll see a Copy Embed Code which you can then paste into the Text view of a page or post on your site, ie. this one: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/create-a-website-in-under-30-seconds. :) Rich.

I'll be reviewing your second comment soonest. Thanks Rich

No probs. :) There are other options, as Dave (@dwdad99) suggested above, you can always take screenshots http://d.pr/i/84Ef with a tool such as Droplr https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/droplr-capture-share-images-text-links-videos-more right-click and save them and upload them to WordPress and use those to illustrate your pages and posts.

Wanting to know how to hyperlink in word press edit.

You need to highlight a piece of text in the Visual tab first, before clicking the link icon. The highlighted text will become the link. https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/creating-links :) Rich.

Thanks Rich I will see if this works.

I have left a comment request box on my privacy page. How do I remove it.

If you edit the post or page, click on Screen Options (far top right) and tick the box marked Comments and/or Discussions, it will add checkboxes underneath the editor window where you can switch comments off on a page and post basis. :) Rich.

Thanks Rich. You are becoming my "Go To" Guy.

LOL, you're most welcome! :) Rich.

I am considering a survey or questionaire to garner contact information. Has anyone used either of these techniques before.

I personally haven't done this, but I know a "respected" developer mate recommends PollDaddy http://polldaddy.com/ as a solution to his clients. They have a WP plugin for surveys that's popular http://wordpress.org/plugins/polldaddy/ However, I'd recommend trying it out on a test .siterubix site first. :) Rich.

Thanks Rich, I checked it out. I am not sure that's what I looking for and it was language specific. No English. So not any help for me. Just wanted to say thanks for the thought and effort.

I wish to know how to check for copyright for pictures or images I might use on my website or blog.

Thanks for the link @Rich. My niche has tonnes of great images, - that's partially the problem. Does anyone know how to actually create your own images? I want to be safe, sure and I want Google love!

I'm thinking of you taking your own photographs to use on your site. You can use free image manipulation software such as GIMP http://www.gimp.org to "pretty" them up and perhaps do the 5-hour GIMP course over at Lynda http://www.lynda.com as part of their seven day free trial. :) Rich.

Thanks @Rich!

I have asked a few other websites in my niche if I may use their images, they have some really good ones! I'm not sure about it though, because they are likely not the owners. I guess if I needed to I could prove I asked for permission and was duped, but this is a difficult one.

It is difficult, especially if images for your niche are a rarity. I'd probably go with your gut instinct but check by doing a reverse image search with http://www.tineye.com before using them. You also get some Google love if you take your own and are the first to publish them, if that's possible. :) Rich.

I recommend that you use legitimate resources such as http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/images/ (free) or http://us.fotolia.com (premium). Unfortunately a lot of other supposedly "free" resources rely on the copyright holder being the person uploading the image, which is often not the case. Rich.

Morning Richard or good afternoon I guess.Thanks for the heads up. I will be checking these resources later today.
