Im a new user, I just got my first blog up today its in the dating niche, and I had a few questions if you guys don't mind.

I guess blogs are still the way to start, while I was waiting to be approved i did a good bit of reading.
First off, I was wondering if anyone has an example of a couple successful blogs in a couple different niches, so I can see the best way to post it.
Second, has anyone used DatingGold, thats the affiliate program im using, are there any problems I should anticpate?

Also, I plan to open a couple more blogs, what other good affiliate programs are there to go through? is AWE good? Name any others you all think are good.
Another question, are there any resource type places to get pictures to use on my sites that WON'T land me in hot water with the owner of the pics.
And lastly, if networking is the way to go in this business, is it wise to work together, or take a new guy under your wing so to speak?

and if someone wouldnt mind taking a look at my site, and honestly critiquing what I've done, I'd appreciate it.
