Seems to be put together with images from The 4-H Knitting Handbook.

Sorry for the videos! I don't hate them but I can definitely see the attraction of images. Sometimes I need help with just one little step and a 30min video is really an overkill.

The last guide is very good for continental knit stitch. It shows the left hand with the yarn and where the fingers are in every step.

As for the mount. The gist is: you enter the needle the certain way and wrap the yarn the certain way. If done correctly, you'll end up with a nice fabric. If you mix techniques without knowing, it'll go haywire. This article has plenty of visuals and explanations.
