Hi, it's great to meet you, my name is Marion and I live in Adelaide Australia.
You'll find my websites and other links listed at the bottom of the right-hand column under "Follow me on..." but you'll have to be already following me at Wealthy Affiliate to see them.
Everyone should have a "main hustle" and a "side hustle". My main hustle is affiliate marketing. My side hustle is creating video courses. "The Plan" is to make my side hustle my main hustle.
If you don't like your "main hustle" then develop your "side hustle" to the point where it can become your "main hustle" and ditch your job.
I love my main hustle but I love my side hustle more.
I'm an entrepreneur. I launched my first "real" business - with paid advertising in the local newspaper - over 50 years ago when I was a teenager. I've always embodied that entrepreneurial spirit. I've had lots of startups since then. Some successful, some not quite. But I'll never give up. They've all been part of the learning experience.
I've been messing around with computers for more than 30 years. I started programming on a Commodore 64 (hands up if you remember them). Then I switched to PCs.
Using a dial-up internet connection I created my first website using HTML in 2002 to promote my software programs. The website is still in existence but it's not mobile-friendly and I just keep it for nostalgic reasons. I don't write programs/apps anymore.
These days I get a buzz from helping my WA friends. I have created lots of tutorials and videos to answer questions so please check out my training section. Click the blue 'View MarionBlack's Training' button on the bottom-right of this page. Or go to https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/training-by-marion-black-sorted for the cataloged version.
If YOU need any extra help just leave a message in the comments section below. I'm always happy to respond. If I don't know the answer to your question then I'll point you in the right direction.

Hi Anthony,
Although I do provide a one-on-one private mentoring service via Skype, I don't do all the work myself. My clients are with me to learn how to build their websites to full potential for themselves and eventually dispense with my services.
Sorry, I can't recommend anyone who can provide the services you're looking for. There are some things that every business owner must do for themselves.
Perhaps you can find someone to design the website and create some initial pages, but as far as getting it to "full potential" that's something you'll need to do yourself.

Marion,
I'm back, again.
Current problem is I am trying to add an Amazon.com image to a post on my website. Amazon provides HTML code but once I copy the code I can't get the image into my "Media Library". Once I get the image into the "Media Library" I should be able to insert it into the post as I have done that several times in the past.
Any suggestions or do you have a video tutorial that I can use?
Thanks again, Robert

It's against Amazon's terms and conditions to use their images except via the HTML code they supply. So, sorry, you can't add the images to your Media Library.

That being the case how do I get the image into my post? I got one image into my post with the HTML code but the image was preceded by the code itself. The code was included in the post followed by the image.

Marion,
What is a "Custom HTML block" and where do I find it and how do I use it?
The only "custom" I could find on the Amazon.com site was a "custom" under "Native Shopping Ads (New)". I copied the HTML code but when I "Insert(e)d Into Post" all I got was the name of the product inserted and that wasn't where I had placed the cursor for the media location.

Hi Marion
Let me first say that last night (we are GMT +2) I changed the font on my website and was so astonished that I immediately broke out a fine single malt. Thank you for that. Please could you now tell me how to change the main heading of the website which in my case is called 'Restoration'. It looks like it is a type of Ariel font. I felt that I had to change the font on my site because I plan to give it an art deco feel and Ariel was just too modern. And you are quite right - Times New Roman does make it more difficult to read on the screen!
I hope that I shall be able to make the change.
Yours aye
Maximus

Every theme is different, Maximus. With some themes, you have more control through Appearance > Customize than with other themes. If there's no option in the Customizer to change the site title font then l I suggest going to canva.com and create a header image using a font of your choice to replace the site title.
I hope you enjoyed your fine single malt 🥃

Hello Marion,
I just wanted to say thank you for all that you do here at WA. I follow you intently. I have seen you answer questions over and over again, even in the same training and at times with no thank you or acknowledgement.
You are TRULY accomplished and an inspiration. I pray for a tip of a finger success that you have had and continue to have. I know you have put a lifetime of hours in.
That is all I wanted to say... no question,,,, Just thank you for being here and being you.

Hi Marion, my name is Robert and I've been a member of WA for 2 years. I've enjoyed watching your how-to videos and I've found them to be a great help. I hope you don't mind me asking a question because I sure could use some help. I am working on a new website where I give reviews of exercise equipment. I want to create an emblem that I can place in the title of the post. Something like Best Buy Award 2019. I have seen it on a few different websites but I don't know how to do it. Do you know of a way to do it or is there a way to do it using a widget? I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to technical questions. I hope to hear from you soon.
Best Regards, Robert

I must not have explained what I want very well. I don't want it in the header but rather as part of the post title. If this makes any difference please let me know. However, you've given me an idea.

Hi Marion
PPeveto here
We have never really spoke, I have a question about my Adsense.
I don't want to remove it all together, because it is actually making a little bit of money. However I watched a couple of your videos about adding Adsense to my site, and I figured I would be able to position where and how many there are, as I have had complaints about the pollution and ugliness they cause on my site, plus zero relevance to the topic of my site as well.
Is there any insight/help/tip/ or trick you can offer me to help me in this dilemma?

To regain control you'll want to remove the original code from your header and delete any Auto Ads you may have inserted. Then you'll be able to create text and image ads and use the Ad Inserter plugin. Easy Adsense Ads with Ad Inserter Plugin

There is no trick, Antonia. As you go through the lessons your questions will be answered one at a time. You will learn how to attract visitors to your website and you'll learn about affiliate marketing.
Just follow all the steps in the training. Don't skip any of the lessons and it will soon start to fall into place.
It's going to take time, hard work, and perseverance but it's going to be worth it.
437 million people speak Spanish so don't let language be a barrier.

Passwords are always case-sensitive. The best option is to use copy and paste and make sure you don't have any spaces before or after the password when you copy it.

Hi Marion, I like the way you answer questions, so I thought I would start following you to see if you have any training clips regarding Wordpress. I am working towards becoming a travel blogger (travel writer/photographer who explores and writes reviews). So I chose WordPress 5.0.2 running GoVideo themes, because I want to post videos too. I want my site to be prodominently VISUAL. Now, of course, I'm a newbie and Wordpress seems Greek to me.
My first question is: Do you think I have chosen the right Wordpress theme to work with ? If not, could you recommend another...
I don't have a second question right now because I'm working through the prescribed training...but.. if you could point me to additional applicable training/tutorials, ie: how to post a video (I have videos on my YouTube channel) I would be very grateful.
Have a wonderful day, Frank

As you are a visual person, Frank, the best theme will be the one you like the most. My advice is to choose a theme with many thousands of active installations, lots of 5-star reviews, and a good support forum. You may want to consider Weaver Xtreme which is the one I use, or one of the many magazine style themes.

Hi, Marion!
Today I've found myself in the Top 50 ranking. I still can't believe it. I came upon your profile just by chance, following your comment in one of Kyle's posts.
I wish I had paid more attention to WA when I registered back in 2015. I got involved in an important project with an Irish partner and I totally forgot about this community.
My partner died a few weeks ago. My business and project totally collapsed. I lost almost everything. Long story.
So I don't have much time to waste looking for an alternate project.
I came back to WA following another random link in a blog, I can't even remember how. I got lucky.
I am following you now because I want to be an Ambassador. I have spent more than 120 hours (sic) in WA since I joined premium December, 7th and here I am, ranking 49 in just 10 days.
I'm unconventional, chaotic, unpredictable, but also creative and committed to my goals. Becoming an Ambassador is part of my strategy to build trust when I decide to start promoting WA.
I strongly believe in leading by example. I also believe in win-win human interactions. And, to say the truth, paying it forward (something in conflict with my rational mind, but seems to be working)
Thanks for being a good example to follow.
Cheers
Richard

I came back to WA following another random link in a blog, I can't even remember how. I got lucky.
I am following you now because I want to be an Ambassador. I have spent more than 120 hours (sic) in WA since I joined premium December, 7th and here I am, ranking 49 in just 10 days.
I'm unconventional, chaotic, unpredictable, but also creative and committed to my goals. Becoming an Ambassador is part of my strategy to build trust when I decide to start promoting WA.
I strongly believe in leading by example. I also believe in win-win human interactions. And, to say the truth, paying it forward (something in conflict with my rational mind, but seems to be working)
Thanks for being a good example to follow.
Cheers
Richard

Thanks Marion, it sounds a lot like me. I was business runing my printing business for the last 20 years. I just am getting started with the internet.
I have several ebooks to give away to get leads, but don't know how to set up the download for them.
I will look at the training and see if I can find what I need.

I am deeply touched by your follow & your story Marion. Thank you:) Hand raised for remembering the Commodore 64 but I never used one. Computers & I have mostly been strangers until very recently. Boy do I have lots to learn. A great place to learn though. Right on for the training videos! You are precious!!

Hello Marion, I want to follow you. I have been an entrepreneur most of my life. This is a whole new beginning. At work I had IT people and never learned much. Now that I'm retired it's different, I know very little about tech, so I have a lot to learn. I enjoy learning and you look like a person that I could learn a lot from. WA seems like a great place to learn with the training modules and the willing community.

Hi Marion, great to meet you. I’ve just come across all your great training and obviously I’m now following you. I’m a real newbie both here at WA and this fascinating world of affiliate marketing.
I remember the Commodore 64 but never had one. My first computer was a BBC model B, but I never really got into it and computer programming was not my thing. Oh I wish it had been!!!
Now at 51 years young, I’m going back to school I feel, being here part of this great community. Looking forward to developing lots a good websites and creating appealing content.
Many thanks again for all that I will learn from you.
Kind regards Rob

Hi, Marion. I read you training on moving a website, and am having problems with mine because it isn't a wordpress site, I find out after I transfer the domain that site support can't help me because it isn't WP. It took a week to transfer the domain over because I'm not all that literate when it comes to this website stuff - that's why I'm with WA - all that is done in the background. So now I have a website sitting at a different host, a domain name sitting at WA Site support tells me to paste and copy my site into WP. My site is due for renewal and I was hoping not to have to pay for all the extras that are free here at WA. I asked site support before I did this and was assured there was no problem, but now there is. I guess we forgot to establish this wasn't a WP site. Do you have any suggestions?

Sorry, Carol, WA only provides managed WordPress hosting. If your site is in HTML then perhaps you should have it hosted elsewhere. Some hosting providers will migrate the website for free for a new customer.

Hi Marion. Thanks for the reply. As sad as it was leaving my old website, I copied and pasted what I could and put the rest together from content I already had. It took weeks to build that site, and it took about 4 hours to build this one! WA is so much easier! I should have waited to transfer the domain name after I put the site together, but oh, well. It is working fine. Thanks again.

Marion, Congratulations on being an Ambassador again. I wasn’t a member when you were an Ambassador before. I do know you sound incredible! How many were participating in online marketing during the dialup era around 2002? I used the dialup Internet but must admit I was intimidated. You have that entrepreneurial attitude and mind! I look forward to reading your blogs.

When it comes to computers, I am as greener than the color green.

I will continue to follow you to make progress.
Also, for a new website, why do I have over 200 users including admin with strange emails?

Thanks for the "follow", Marion. You "about" page is very interesting reading. Commodore 64? Yeah, wish I still had mine.
I had a lot of fun with that machine and with dial-up bulletin boards (BBS's). The first time I had a two way message session with a friend on the other coast from me ... without any long distance charges, I thought the modern era of computing had really arrived!
Hope you time on WA is very successful. Be well.

Hello once again, Marion... I have copied the :get link" code in Amazon Associates of the item I want in my website for Lesson 5 with Wealthy Affiliate. Next, the instructions say to paste the code to my website. When I paste, it puts the code in text description instead of pasting it as the Amazon ad, What am I missing?

You have 2 tabs when you're writing a post: Visual and Text. Code goes into the Text tab.
When you upgrade to Gutenberg you'll be able to add Custom HTML blocks instead of going back and forth between the tabs. It's going to be so much easier.
If you haven't tried the new editor (Gutenberg) yet, I encourage you to give it a go on a test website. I'm using it on a live website now.
Check out my training as I've made a lot of videos on Gutenberg. https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/marionblack/training

Hi Marion. I too used to be in IT and remember when the computer filled an entire room and you had to depend on an operator to test your programs then eventually you got your own monitor then finally your desktop.

Hi Marion! part of your story sounds a bit like mine. I learned to program using HTML at Keiser College back on 1999. Only took one and a half semesters though. However, learned enough to create my first affiliate website. It was up and running for about a year but now it is gone. Since then I abandoned affiliate marketing and programming and focused on working at different banks over the years. I will be refer to your training videos often as they are very well made and informative. My only question at this time is I noticed WordPress does not have a theme for a new website I would like to start. It's a mix of an educational site where I'll be posting information about money and finance in general and affiliate marketing of gold/precious metals companies. It's a niche idea I have to develop but can't see an appropriate WordPress theme to use. Is it possible to import an outside theme to WordPress?

There are thousands of free themes available as well as lots of premium themes. If you buy a premium theme you can add it to your website. Whatever theme you choose it must have been designed for WordPress websites. Choose a New Theme Install Premium Theme

Hi Marion,
Thanks for letting me know.
I had already created the static web pages and opted against using the featured picture. When I used it in the past I ended up with duplicate pictures on the post - the heading and in the article. (I didn't know it was supposed to be that way). I suspected that is where the problem was and it was confirmed by yours and one other response that I need to use the featured image. I just did that and all is well now.
Thanks.

It's nice to meet you! I saw you on a page where I was trying to ask a question 'bout a little red star that turned out to be a little red CIRCLE.

I think Australia is my little girl's favorite place in the whole wide world. She spent about a year an' a half in Melbourne, several years back.
My hand is raised an' I think I just might be able to do you one better with computers. Not only do I remember working on a Commodore, but I actually did key-punch operating for my dad, in the 1950's, while he worked on a compute that took up an entire BUILDING that was about the size of Walmart. 'Course, that was a day or two ago, but I sure enjoyed being a part of computer history an' watching summa' those first programs being written. The computer world was a whole universe of its OWN, back then. I sure wouldn't wanna' go BACK to those days.
I also worked at a company, a few years later, where five of us would sit INSIDE One section of a computer an' work to get things tied up, nice an' tidy. Yup! That was definitely a Long. Time. Ago.
It's really nice to meet you! I look forward to getting to know you an' seeing you around the WA boards. Good luck in all your endeavors. I don't hafta' wonder if you will succeed; I can a'ready see that THAT was never a question.

Nope! Nope! Nope! Those little red curls might confuse you, but I'm sure you are a lot younger than I am. By the way, I am 7. Yes, you read that correctly. I am 7.
You see... I decided a long time ago that I never wanna' reach the ripe old age of 8 because that is, in MY mind anyway, the age of accountability. An' THAT is when people start EXPECTING things of you. Things like acting responsible. 'Course, when folks begin to think you are a responsible person, they begin to ask you to do things; RESPONSIBLE things. So, I don't even wanna' worry 'bout getting to 8.
Naturally, I had to devise a plan that would help me stay younger than 8 an' this is what I came up with; if you do the math enough different ways, who's to know, right?
So... I add, subtract, multiply an' divide, until I arrive at a number I like. An' THAT's when I decide how old I am. An' it's ALWAYS younger than 8. See? Good plan, eh?
{{{{{Psssttt!!! Now that I told you my REAL age, I'll tell you sump'n ELSE... if you promise to keep it on the 'QT', okay? Okay, here's my other secret: I graduated from high school in 1966, but I also was held back a couple of years, due to... you know... my report card only knew two letters, mostly; the letters 'D' and 'F'.

I went to 49 schools an' I ran into the same Dumb. Report. Cards. at Every. Single. School. Dumb! Dumb! Dumb! Report Cards!
But I am a nice person (usually), so I forgave those report cards for being unkind. After all, I began to understand their plight, ya' know? I mean... consider it. Would YOU wanna' live you ENTIRE Existence in SCHOOL?

Copy the link from the browser's address bar after the post has been published. Then check that the link works in an incognito window to make sure it's accessible for people who are not logged in.

I’ve been in the program for 1 month. I’m a premium member about to go into my second month. I’m confused and frustrated.
The confusion, as I see it, stems abound trying to follow the steps outlined in WA and trying to coordinate these steps with WP.
In questioning others most say they do their site construction strictly in WP and not WA.
I get that same indication from your most gratifying help. You’ve been doing this before there was a WA – or so I hear.
Could you, would you or can you in very regimented but simple steps walk me through the process from choosing a theme to completion of a site. I do have a theme and a domain and have completed the first series in boot-camp. All this but I still don’t know what I’m doing and keep repeating the past steps waiting for that Eureka moment where this all makes sense. So far it has not occurred!

Hi Marrion, it is so good to meet you, I will have to look up Adelaide Australia. My son and I both have always wanted to go to Austraila. I have been fumbling around with WordPress all day. I'm feeling a bit frustrated at the moment. I just sent for WordPress for Dummies and will take a fresh start at it in the Morning. What type of videos do you make? I'm going to check out your videos now. English is my third language and writing is starting to reflect it, and not for the good. I will be writing more to you in the morning. I really look forward to getting to know you better.
Sincerely Sandy

Another question. Entering site content for a new website. Is there a way to do this in WP?
The 4 templets in content - are they listed in WP or in my site?
I'm more comfortable using the writing page in WP. Used it before but forgot how to get there from WA...help
Thanks

Busy taking exams now and I don't want to pay for something I am not planing to use. However I want to keep my website for now. Would you be able to tell me how to move it over to Namecheap.

Marion, I have recently deleted the amazon ads I had on my website I used AD inserter to install the code initially and it seemed to go well, the amazon ads were installed.I started having a problem and I'm not sure what caused it. The problem was that when I visited my website a couple of my post would only scroll a short ways, it would not scroll down the whole page. Well, I decided to delete the amazon ads and I used Ad inserter to do so. It worked. the amazon ads were gone.I lost some parts of my post after that, so I decided to do a restore using WP Clone. After that I got a error 204 on my website. I found out that it has to do with a link. I'm stuck and not sure what to do. I would appreciate any suggestions you might have.

It sounds like there are a few things going on here David.
For troubleshooting, my first step would be to deactivate ALL plugins (even the ones you think you can't live without) and check if that fixes the problem. If it turns out to be a plugin or a combination of plugins you can activate them one at a time, checking as you go, to determine which plugin(s) cause the problems.
If that doesn't work then contact Site Support.

Dear Marion,
I’ve enjoyed your trainings on other topics, and started following you months ago, but for some reason your training didn’t click when it came to jump links and targets. After many delays and searching other sites to explain this topic, I came back to your instructions (the first I ever read).
I was intimidated by code and even found a plugin that didn’t work very well with my theme, but your encouragement of “It’s just code,” made me persist in trying to understand links and targets. Now I have a list of studies (my links) at http://mytophotherbs.com/many-studies-have-been-done-on-the-health-benefits-of-curcumin-and-turmeric#brain that link to the actual studies (my targets).
Thanks for the encouragement and your easy to follow steps for those who focus and pay attention.
My only question now is the links on my website take the reader a little below the target, not exactly on the subtitle line. Can you help me with this issue? I’ve tried putting a space between the target code and the subtitle, but the links still land the reader a little below the subtitle. StunningBell appears to have had the same difficulty, but figured it out. I can check with him them if you don’t know the answer.
Look forward to your response. I’ll be working on my FAQ page next.
Thanks so much. I liked your training.

I've been searching for training on how to fix my site xml errors. I've got a "site appears to be an HTML page, pls use a sitemap format instead". Of course, I have no clue what it means, so here I am again. I couldn't find your training on it.
I only have one plugin now - with Yoast. I managed to clean up and delete two others - (instructions from Yoast). Now I want to submit my xml sites and am stuck on this very first one. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Marion.

Hi Marion,
I'm following your video "applying for Adense and where to paste the code"
all going ok till I got to "add plugin - insert headers and footers"
the WPbeginner header and footer plugin appeared but the Install button was disabled
I then clicked on "more details" and it said "latest version installed"
I then go back to WP dashboard and click settings and the "insert footers and headers -settings page appears
in the box under "scripts in header" there is another google code in there [think it could be google console]
my question is can I use another headers and footers plugin besides the WPbeginners one?

The color of the padlock depends on which browser you're using. Chrome and Firefox show a green padlock, and Microsoft Edge shows a white padlock with a black outline. It's the padlock symbol that's important, not so much the color.

Hi Marion. I watched your video entitled: Custom CSS: Change Font Size Site-Wide. I followed the steps, and it worked. But the problem I am having now is that that not all the words in the different paragraphs are the same, especially those for the unordered lists. I would like to adjust this quick so my site doesn't look 'untidy', if that is the right word to use.

You must have missed this line at the bottom:
"For unordered lists (bullets) and ordered lists (numbered) you have to add a couple more items, replacing 'p' with 'ul' and 'ol'."
For the bulleted list, you would use
ul {font-size: 18px;}
And for numbered list,
ol {font-size: 18px;}
You can change the px size to whatever you like.

SO i wanted to ask you first if we can add the video or how do we go about it, so it appears as a video in an article? with the affiliate link also?

Hi Sidney,
When valid CSS doesn't work I add '!important' (exclamation mark important) just before the ';' (semi-colon). The other thing you could try is contacting your theme's support forum through wordpress.org.

Hi Marion so nice to meet you and read your bio. You sound just like me as I can relate to everything you said. My main hustle is my job which I've been trying to leave since I started a year ago and I'm building several side hustles online so I can be free to roam around the country. Right now I'm stuck in Hawaii on an island and my heart wants me to be on the mainland and the only way I want to do that is with business online. Thanks for letting me share! Hope to hear more from you in the coming months. Aloha!

Hi Marion ; I have a couple of questions, I hope it is not too much. First I kind of have an answer to my problem page quandry. My about me page has supposedly been fixed by site support. they say I can go ahead and redo my about me page but I am thinking about delete and start over.
While going through your wonderful list of training, I discovered a term I had not seen (heard ) before, Justify. And discovered that my about me page was displaying THAT error. How is this avoided? Also do you still recommend WP CLONE vs CHILD? And that does mean that Clone is to be set off site from WA ? And finally That off site would be a (Free ) website from WORDPRESS that does not need a host?

A child theme is a theme that's based on another theme. It's not a backup of your website. You use a child theme if you want to edit the code so that the edits don't get overwritten next time the theme is updated.
WA makes daily incremental backups of your website which, by their very nature, overwrite the previous backups. If you make a mistake and break your website then you would have to have support fix it before their next backup or they are going to have the backup of your website with the mistake in it.
If you needed to have your website restored to what it was like yesterday or last week then you would need to have your own backup.
WP Clone creates zip files which are backups of your website. You save those backups on your computer in case you need to revert your website to what it looked like yesterday or last week.

I got rid rid of the premium theme and went with the free theme called "little jump." Since I am basically starting over I wanted to get an idea of what to start out with on this episode. Thank you for your input , most helpful. Well, like I said I think , I did not make my about me page look like what you indicated would cause that sentence blanking problem. You know blocked structure.
Of course the paragraph structure lined up to the left, but the right side was ended so that the line would not exceed 90 characters. So, there might be 3 characters before the 90 or there might be 8 characters before the end depending how many characters were in the next word. So , I don't know why I was getting the problems that you displayed from what you called justifying. That is why I asked if you knew how to avoid that situation ? So, do you know? Scott

WordPress took away the option to make text justified (easily) a few updates ago. The only way to get justified text is to install a plugin or a theme that has that option. So I find it difficult to tell you how to avoid a problem that shouldn't have arisen in the first place. I just don't know why your page was justified.
Justified text and serif fonts work for paper and ink publications but they are hard to read on the screen.
To fix the problem you'll want to click on each paragraph (anywhere in the paragraph will do) and then click on the left-alignment icon.

thank you Marion, I trashed that About Scott Page, Do you think I can retrieve it and Use this corrective measure . As a matter of fact T might just do that. But, also I have been seeing this evening Fri-Sat ,12-13, That there are others having issues with site content. I wonder if it the same justifying issue. I find it strange that I incurred this problem even though I didn't justify my content. I will let you know the out come and thank you for pointing me in a direction. stawhu Scott

Hello, Marion, oddly enough only WA's email I'm not receiving as all other senders' emails I receive every day which leads me to believe that the problem is not on my end.
I'm so sorry to bring this up again, but I'm really becoming frustrated as Site Support has not responded after at least two notifications of my problem, which is headed into the third week now. Regrettably, if I can't get some assistance I will have to unsubscribe from WA, because I expected to get more support than what I received. I am receptive to any other suggestions you may have.

Thanks for following me Marion. I loved your bio! It reminds me of a song from the 70's - 80's, "Do The Hustle!" (remember disco?), although you're probably not that old.
It is good to be here at WA and I'm going through the lessons diligently, just optimized my SEO (now that I know what that is). I can't wait to start the next part, adding content! I just know that is where the magic is going to happen. I believe that is what will bring the traffic if it's solid content and presented well (please correct me if I'm wrong, I am a newbie). Look forward to more interaction here at WA. A pleasure to meet you, gooday!

Hi Marion, Thank you for adding me to your network, I'm doing like wise!
Oh yes, dear old Commodore 64's! ;-) A friend of ours were subscribed to some magazine which printed the code for some new games.... and then we would spend the whole afternoon typing in the code... and sometimes the game will work and sometimes there's an error either in the print or in the typing and then it doesn't work...
And dial-up...Wow, how life has advanced...

Hello Marion: I am having edit problems on my about Scott post for the affiliate bootcamp. My about is ended up not fitting into the template and I did not realize what was happening at the the time. But evidently by typing through the next sections and pushing the forward with the space bar I had done something to cause the final out come that has the content skewed. paragraph not being paragraphs but showing up at the end of the preceeding para graph if there is room. The first paragraphs will not take my indent it keeps reverting to block. some of my edits revise some don't My first draft was two wide for the page , my page is a two column with a side menu in the third . My recent revision I counted characters for two columns line up all the paragraphs for my indent , I used 5 space, changed some words , some took some didn't, hit preview and while the page looked a little better it did not reflect how it was supposed to look according to either live revision or after published revision. Can this be dealt with or should I swap out my current premium theme with another? Then delete that theme then start over anew with my premium theme? I have difficulty with my left arm and therefore cannot type ,but by hunt and peck, so I am trying to find the best way to do this because the just typing the first draft prior to publishing took 4hrs. I don' mind starting over if that's what it will take to get this post to look right. Sorry the question is so long but I want to give you as much info as possible. Thank you Scott

they referred me to the wordpress codex, which is written in chinese. or they will set up the the theme, which I am actually getting done, for $99.00 . my problem as I see it relates to the template and the adjustment made in the horizontal line print , 110 space characters in width of the template to the transfer to the theme space ,two column , 90 characters , and the push forward space bar to allow for more room on the vertical content area of the current title are before it crowds out the next title area. no, its not really chinese it just reads like that to someone who has no experience with any of this . Littlte joke. I guess I' check with Kyle. they designed the template thank you Scott

Hi Marion, Thanks for the follow and will follow back. I'm also from "the land of flooding rains" now living in Townsville. Like you I have been around computers for too long, started programming in FORTRAN at the University of Toronto in the early 70's. Those were the days when you wrote your program and then punched it out on cards which which you then fed into the mainframe computer. I look forward to catching up with you sometime.

Hi Marion, just wondered if you might be able to help me with applying an Amazon link to my post. I tried using the same procedure as I do with my other affiliate companies, but it wouldn't paste onto my chosen phrase. I may be doing something wrong or missing a step but I was led to believe it was a simple process! I can't find any training. I can't watch videos at the moment (cleared cache and all that but still not working) so if you have any tips that would be great! Sue

I do remember the commodore 64. In fact I started on the Apple II
and was a successful programmer for over 30 years. That made it extremely frustrating for me to get my head around this internet marketing thing. Thanks to Wealthy Affiliate, You and others I'm gonna make it afterall
It does something to a person who knows that deep inside him or her the ability exists and a little help could make all the difference.
So thanks again and if there is anything that I can do to support your video training efforts, please let me know

Hi Marion, good to meet you. I loved reading your profile and finding out how you are growing yourself!
May I ask you a question? It talks about backing up your WordPress site. When I looked there were many ways to do this but I do not know much about these things. I would like something that is automatic. How do you choose the best way? I would like to have advice on this. I have come along way on this my first day of real work on Wealthy Affiliate, but not as far as I wanted. There is still much I do not understand.
Thank you for any input and everyone else too. I am grateful!

I actually took some computer science classes back 30 some odd years ago. I remember learning about DOS and Lotus 123. (Wow! Now I really feel old) I never lost interest but family comes first, I just didn't have enough time to do both. Now the kids are all on their own, so here I am again, starting from scratch. I believe this is the place to grow. So I'm giving it all I've got to get there by the time I retire. I'll get there.

My question is : Have you been successful with affiliate marketing? It seems you can go in many directions with your interests. If you are getting the traffic and things are clicking, why consider secondary hustle?
Would you mind passing on your website address, as to check out your style and generally pump me up.

Welcome to Wealthy Affiliate. I'm sure you'll enjoy learning about building an affiliate website.
Like most people, my main hustle is what brings in the money, my side hustle is what I enjoy doing more.
My main website is marionblackonline.com. You'll find members' websites at the bottom of the right-hand column on their profile page. You need to be following the person to see them and not everyone lists their websites there.

I always follow people for a while before I actually follow them. This way I can confirm the relationship can be beneficial to both parties. Or if I like a new members profile and can sense they are here for the long haul and I can help them, then I will follow them too. I believe since we have control of the follow button that we should use it as a tool more than a courtesy, just my opinion.
Anyways, I love your answers to members, your videos are great and I could only hope to have the knowledge and strengths you demonstrate within the WA. If there's in anyway I might be of service to you, please hail at any time.

Thanks for the follow. I've reciprocated and hope to share some success soon. I remember the old dial-up connections too and at the time I was in the video business too - albeit making pharmaceutical marketing videos. It's a very different world now, but oh so exciting. All the best for today.

Hello Marion, Thank you very much for your tutorials of site-wide changing of font colours & font sizes with the CSS code. It's really helpful. Could you please help if there is any css code available for changing the colour of the buttons? Such as the Search button on my site? Thanks a ton!

Hello Marion
Thank you for the follow.
I have recently moved from Adelaide - miss it very much but regrets are pointless, so onwards and upwards!
I will definitely check out your training, and good luck with your side hustle.
And yes, I can remember my husband getting a Commodore 64 - black screen with green text, I think? What a difference these days!
All the best, Leah.

Thanks for the follow Marion! I like what you said about the hustle. My plan is to have 3, main hustle affiliate marketing, side hustle something related to my passion (still nailing it down to a niche) and finally I want to help small businesses locally with their marketing at a reasonable price they can afford maybe even volunteer some of my time to do it for them.

Thanks Marion, for following and offering your help and advice. Writing this it crosses my mind, that quite a few people have come up with suggestions but it's hard to keep track where the things came from I wanted to follow up..
Is there a way to store things, like your tutorial and video page in a private folder so I can come back to that in my own time?

Hi Marion, thank you for the follow, following you back. I'm taking a leaf from your book: "If you don't like your "main hustle" then develop your "side hustle" to the point where it can become your "main hustle" and ditch your job". I really like that that advice and that's what I'm working towards. It's an honour having an Ambassador in my network :-). I'll definitely be checking out your training section.
Cheers, Ken.

Hi Marion,
Thanks for following me! Nice to meet you here!
I loved your bio-sketch, or profile as we call here in WA. It is light but captivating! I see that you are loaded with tons of experience both in offline business and online.
I was off WA for few months, but recently reactivated my membership. This time I am more focused and have better clarity with regards to what I want and what I can achieve by being an online entrepreneur. Just working on some big plans at the moment. I sure will check out your training and blogs as soon as one of my hands are free!
Maybe one day, I'll interview you! Lol :-)
Cheers,
Joe

Hi Marion, seemed to have lost contact after your most welcome assistance.
I went, as you suggested, to technical. They have moved all four of my sites, now safely in WA.
I have also directed the 'nameservers' to WA. so they are now active here.
I am trying to work out the sequence of transferring the domain names.
I know, I can take my time with these, so can you advise the sequence and how and when I pay the one year for the domain/s.
I have watched the video, and it appears that this takes when one presses the new site button.
Does the domain transfer need to be completed before the I complete the above, and pay a year in advance, though all my site are active until next year.
Thank you again for your assistance,
Tom.

Stay away from the "new site" button. You won't want to delete your website by overwriting it with a new WordPress install.
Once your websites are hosted at WA there's no rush to transfer the registration of the domain name. When I was doing that for my sites I waited until about 4-6 weeks before each renewal was due and transferred the domain names then. Make sure you keep the registration details including email addresses up to date and you'll be fine.

Thank you Marion, and thank you, as the allayer of the concern I was having with this button.
You have made it clear that there is no rush to re-register the domains, only to do so near the renewal date.
The sites themselves are fully functional, so I can continue to develop them.
Can I presume, when I transfer, I unlock domain, get code, I then introduce the code to WA., as the correct procedure.
Thank you again for your invaluable help,
Tom.

I'm not sure where your domain names are registered but the procedure is similar for all registrars Transfer Domain Name from GoDaddy to Wealthy Affiliate SiteDomains The nameservers will stay exactly the same as they are now, you don't need to change anything there. Changing domain name registrars does not affect the nameservers.

Marion,
I have a web domain that is stagnant and I might want to use it to rebuild. It is hosted. The index page is not relevant to my affiliate marketing idea however I could use a different landing page on the site.
Should my URL (WordPress URI) be only keywords that will generate traffic?
Thank you,
Katherine

Thank you. I remember Commodore 64. My first was Tandy TRS-80 microprocessor from Radio Shack in 1977. It only provided a simple game interface. I loved IBM MS-DOS and creating databases three years later. Of course, there were those moment when I forgot to backup and lost everything. Great memories.

Hi Marion,
I just followed your training on drop-down menus. It worked well until I went in to try to delete my categories down the side of my page. I tried deleting one and it removed the article completely from my website!!! I hadn't saved it anywhere so I have lost it. Obviously I don't want categories to show now as I have all the posts and pages up in my new drop-down menu. Can you tell me how I can get rid of my categories? Also the spot where the particular category was now says "Uncategorised".
Thank you.
Sue

Ouch! Don't delete the categories, just delete the category widget. Go to Appearance > Widgets and you'll see the Category widget in the sidebar. Click on the tiny triangle to open it and you'll find Delete at the bottom left.
Check to see if your post is still there. Go to Posts > All Posts and see if you can find it. Check the Trash can too because it may be in there.

Thanks Marion, it's all very much still a steep learning curve for me so far! I hope to be as knowledgeable as you one day! I will delete the widget and also have a look for my post in the trash. Cross fingers! :-)

Hi MarionBlack! I'm now on day 8 and as of yesterday, I rank #1 on page 1 on google--how cool is that.
Boy am I having a difficult time showing the comments field on all my pages and post. I searched for articles, blogs, and videos. I did all that was suggested, however I still do not see the "comments" field available on any page. What can I do to make this happen? Thanks-a-million!
