T568B Wall Jack Wiring

Your wiring is correct.

Please make those pictures smaller. My monitor is at 2048x1536 and i'm only seeing half of the picture.
 
Honestly, use either 568A or 568B, it doesn't matter, as long as it is the same on both ends. Otherwise you get a crossover connection. Most switches are Auto-MDX but it is best to simply wire it as a patch through instead for the best compatibility. From my experience, 568B seems to be more prevalent than 568A, both in new and older wiring construction. I personally wire all new cables to 568B, unless the existing plant is 568A. Don't mix the two as that can confuse people.

Also make sure you use a metal punchdown tool and not one of those crappy plastic "punchdown tools" that often times comes free with the CAT5/CAT6 keystone. Much more solid punchdown and trims your cable tail for you in one operation.

GJ wiring for a rookie. Keeping the cable twists as close to the termination is best as well as the outside jacket.
