I'm wondering if I like how my website sounds. The problem is the name of my website is the name of my URL. Is it possible to change my URL without having to do all of my website o

If your website is fairly new then its not that bad. You can get the new domain name, and import Wordpress content to your new blog, and delete the previous one. Thought if its already getting a lot of traffic and there is a lot of content, then yeah redirecting can get the job done.

Hey thanks Cory! I appreciate it!

Yes. It is possible. Just buy a new domain name and set up redirects on all your existing urls, and the domain name. Done.

If i change my url do i have to start my website over again?

Quick question. I'm trying to post a picture and it keeps splitting my paragraphs. It makes the formatting look ugly. Any setting anyone knows about that can help adjust this so th

Iuse MAgic Margie's method but do add captions. If you click on the little pen symbol as you hover over the pick you will get positioning, sizing and captioning options.

? when adding media, I start by putting my cursor on the edge of the line where I want the picture to be, then click on media, choose the picture, click on left, right, or center, attach to none, I choose not to put comments under the picture, I do give it an ALT name for google, choose the size of my picture and add picture to content.

I would say your problem is that you do not start with your cursor in the correct place.

I think your're dead on with this. Other than that, I would try aligning the picture to the center.

Hey thanks for your comments!

What I do is add the image as usual with 'none' as the formatting, then edit in Text Mode to add a line of code just before the alt (watch the spacing) style="border: 0pt none; float: right; padding-left: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px;"

You can change the padding, or left to right and right to left in two places to move it to the other side..

Hey thanks a lot for your help!

I did a training on this subject: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/tips-tricks-with-adding-images

Hope that helps solve your issue. The main thing to look for is where your cursor is placed.

Hey quick question. I know Kyle talks about putting a "-" in between words when you are titling a picture. He also says to do this in the alternative text. Why the dash? Does an

He does point out that it's a personal choice.. It serves as a divider for your SEO tittle on Google

Hey thanks a lot for your reply. I appreciate it. Good to know these little details.

Go on Google and try to find something.. Check out the titles and see which one appeals more to you and check out what they are using = dashes, semicolons, dividers?

It all depends on what people find appealing

Hey thanks Russ. I appreciate it.

Hi everyone,

Does a .com always have a lot easier of a time getting ranked than a .org? Any thoughts based off of your discussions with others? Thanks so much!

Both works at same. If your domain is available as .com go for it. :)

I've always heard (even from Kyle) that .com is the ideal, but .org would be next, followed by .net. I would guess .com anyway because it's the most well known, even to people who aren't really on the internet much.

Hey thanks for your comment.

There are varying opinions on this. I shared a post at one point that broke down the various extensions. Go to my profile, check out my blog about namecheap sales, in the comments I shared a link to said post. Fellow WA members can also share their thoughts, the more opinions/experience the better.

I was told that I should have at least five keywords when starting out but will four keywords kill me? Thanks for your help!

Hey thanks for your help! I appreciate it.

I believe Carson told you in live chat four was fine and that there is no set in concrete rule. Start with one if you want to, just means you will have to come up with another one before you can write the next article.
