The image for the resistor 404's and shows a "no symbol".
Should really say, when soldering an LED or other semiconductor attach an alligator clip or other heat sink before soldering to prevent heat damage. Overheating can damage other components and circuit boards, too. Also when soldering it is very important to apply the iron to the copper pad or wire lead then touch the solder to the copper or wire, not to the iron, to get a proper connection. A very common mistake, not just in noobs. There should be a neat little box with all the right holes available, too. I carry mine around my neck on a string. Stick your logo on it and charge 99 cents. :-)
