    As an introductory class I felt it was fine. It seemed more blog centered than website centered. That could very well have been my understanding of what I was hearing because I was tired. The late time of the class problematic. My understanding of the time would be that the class would start 8PM, EST. I was traveling at the time so I had expected it to start 7PM my time. It actually didn't start until 9PM my time. Because of the late start things seemed a bit rushed.

    Nate did an excellent job at teaching the fundamentals of Wordpress. He stayed after class to assist with my blog.
