This is really helpful. The fact that it is 6 years old makes a difference in some of the information, but I'm still learning a lot.

I have learnt a lot so far - my only comment would be that this course was built in 2014 and Wordpress has moved on quite a bit since. Perhaps worth mentioning in the course blurb.
