Feeling a Little Confused

As I continue through affiliate bootcamp trying to follow everything by the book, I read other member's blogs and realize there are things I'm missing that I don't recall being mentioned in the lessons I've done so far. These are things that look pretty important to me and make me want to delete my website and start all over.

What am I talking about? Well let's see for instance I'm sure I'm not the first beginner to do this but I've been going along here using the publish button quite frequently thinking that's how you save everything. I read in other member's blogs you shouldn't publish anything until everything on the page is as you want it. I'm not through with these pages yet, as I haven't even put any pictures on the pages other than the about me page.

I was hoping Kyle was going to go into future detail about inserting the pictures and banners in a future lesson because I haven't seen this so far. I'm on course 1 lesson 7. I've also seen where it's not a good idea to change post titles, but as I continue to learn more I see where changes are necessary.

I know the foundation of your website is pretty important if you start off on the wrong foot it could mean disaster in the future. I have read several times where people will say just follow the lessons, but as I'm following the lessons and I'm reading other people's blogs my mind is going well is Kyle going to cover that in a future lesson or is that something I should have already done or not done?

I'm sure others have been where I am or are there right now. If I'm going to promote WA I want to steer people right. As I learn the do's and don'ts I want to be able to offer beginners good sound advice to get off on the right start. If telling them to just follow the lessons is good advice, then fine but if there are gaps that need to be filled in then I want to be able to do that. I hope all this makes sense. As stated in the title I'm just feeling a little confused right now. Maybe someone can clear things up.
