I was really disappointed when found out that the many ideas on how to improve my existing blog did not work since the functions shown in the video are no longer there (in Blogger). The Site Google+ which was supposedly a great alternative to Facebook no longer exists. All in all the course is outdated.

A bit slow starting but gave me good grounding in Wordpress blogs. Lacked some of the depth I wanted but is great as a starter video.

I really learned a lot. It was not easy for you to present the two blogs as example but you did it in the least confusing way possible. Thanks
