Hi Paul, liked the presentation, good, clear, concise. Wouldn't change the approach at this stage.
One point I would like to hear your views on please. You have a static front page, and I would be interested to know why you chose this over a blog, if indeed you did? Reason is this. I started my WA site with a static front page, plus a blog, after a lot of research into target audience etc. Didn't get a lot of traffic, and very few click throughs. I discussed with WA and the advice was to change to the blog as the front page so that Google would see a changing, updated site and give it better ranking.
So far I have seen no change in traffic, and I guess this could now lead to the conclusion that either WA is not as tempting to join as I may have thought in the way I have written my content or, it points to the overall quality of my site which needs to improve.
I am not wanting to pitch you against WA but why specifically do you consider the static front page to be the way to go - assuming and this is key, that you do?
Looking forward to your future videos,
Regards,
Hudson.

G'day Paul - With due respect to the WA founders, it's great to hear English as she should be spoken! For me, the downside of video tutorials - no matter how well they are presented - is trying to make notes. Either I can't understand what I've scribbled, or, I miss other information during the note taking. Which means multiple viewings... and scribblings.... The retention rate for a rank newbie still learning the WP lingo suffers. So, back to another replay! :) george
