Title of post: "Are Fine Art Workshops Worth the Money", posted at FreeArtSchool.org using WA Keyword Tool. Having so much fun I almost forgot I am doing this to hopefully earn

I tend to agree with Bis you have a lot of excellent content but parts not showing up the way it should and some things are a bit off which spoils it. Over all the time and effort you have put into is appealing. We all learn by making mistakes and that is what this community can point out to us which can be a good thing because we tend to over look things when we first start out.So keep up the good work and know that with practice your site will become perfect..

That's a really nice site - you have been busy

Congratulations. It's a good feeling isn't it?

Might be your first blog post but you have lots of content on your site - all of which is excellent.

One small point on your site is the images. They are letting you down in places. Inconsistent size, poor alignment and few captions. eg http://freeartschool.org/free-art-lessons-online/composition.That's a pity because it's spoiling what is an excellent site.

Thanks Beverly for your input. It's really appreciated. If I may ask please for a little more help here to make these corrections. I'm not sure what you mean. I'm am definitely open to suggestions. Would it be better if all the images were of the same size & alignment. I was going for variety but maybe that was a bad decision.

Good for you! If it's not fun, you're doing it wrong. Keep up the good work.

I have some affiliate banner ads that I want to place on certain pages instead of the site wide sidebar. Is that possible? How do I do it?

Read the discussion below, found the answer and was overjoyed at how simple it was!

That worked. You're awesome!

Aw, fantastic. I'm delighted to have helped! :) R.

Just paste the HTML code for the banner, into the Text tab (not the Visual tab) of a Page or Post. :) Rich.

Makes sense. Thanks again!

No probs. Oh, and the Page or Post must be published, it won't show an embedded item such as a banner or a video in Draft. I usually also check with an Incogito tab in Chrome in case you've cached the page without the banner being visible. :) R.

Does anyone know why my admin@freeartschool.org is not forwarding to my gmail account? I sent a test email to admin@freeartschool.org and nothing happened. Did not receive it ba

Seems like this was a question from years ago, but I am not getting my emails forwarded to my gmail account, Can anyone give me an idea why and what can be done?

Thanks
Ed

I noticed the same thing too. I meant to put in a support ticket. When I tried to set up my forwarding, it kept saying that it was already done. ?? I also can't get into my email from WA. Do you have that issue too?

Hi - did you follow the video tutorial here: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/how-to-send-receive-domain-email-via-gmail

All the best, Mark

Nope. Not in the spam folder.

I've sent you a test message, let me know if that works. :) R.

If it doesn't work submit a Hosting ticket. :)

I'd firstly check your spam folder. :) R.

Here we go. Just published my website at www.freeartschool.com. Please take a look and give me your thoughts. Thanks so much.

Okay I believe that I was looking at the right one - the .org one. I was very pleased with what I found. You have put a lot of work into it - well done. I would like to ask my Grandaughter to join you when I see her at Christmas. Again well done and good luck going forward,
Hudson

sorry should be .org not .com.

You have a nice clean professional look, I think you have a great niche and everybody wants free. I am sure in due time you will figure out how to monetize it and you could potentially make it into a membership site further on down the road. But your off to a great start!

The upcoming event page is useful. Nice looking site. Congrats!

Just saw your other post and realised your mistake. You have given a .com address above whereas your site is .org
You can therefore ignore my nasty comment as your site looks good.

Thanks. That is a bad habit of mine.

I'd also recommend adding it to https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/getting-started/please-give-me-feedback-on-my-website if you haven't already done so, as Members there are actively looking to give and receive feedback. :) Rich.

Hi - are you certain that's the correct URL/link? The link above takes you to a page which says:

The domain freeartschool.com is for sale. To purchase, call xxxxxxxxxx at xxxxxxxx. Click here for more details.

All the best, Mark

Hi Pinecone.
Firstly congrats on getting a site up - always a great achievement
My honest opinion is …..
sorry - I just don't like it. It looks too much like a very impersonal billboard.
I think you need to freshen it up so that each category subject is discussed in your own words.
BE

That might be because it's not a website, is a domain parking site. The actual site isn't there and is apparently for sale.

How to successfully upload videos to WA

With a lot of trial and error I was finally able to successfully upload a video to my WA website/page

By the way, I wasn't stealing their video because I made sure to name them as the source and provide a link to their site.

Thank you!

You should be able to right-click any video on the web and copy paste the hyper-text. Then just paste into your site. That's how I was able to add someone else' s art instruction video into my website. Make sure you are in text mode, not visual mode when you do it. Hope this helps.

This is great information! Do you know I would take a training video from WA and inserting it into my WA site?

If you go to the page the training video is on, at the top of the page, just under the title, you will see a series of links. One of them is titled "Affiliate Link". Click on that and copy and paste the link that comes up into whatever page you are composing and when anyone clicks on it, it will take them to that page and also inform WA that they were referred to the page by you, because the link not only takes them to the page but contains an affiliate number that applies specifically to you.
