Solid intro, @jonathanbossenger.

The slides that show the Theme Directory homepage (at the beginning and end of the lesson) feature the soon-to-be-old design. It’s probably safe to replace them with the upcoming design that’s supposed to launch soon: https://wordpress.org/themes/?new-theme=1.

Hi @jonathanbossenger.

I neglected to note my initial post was a work in progress. Here are my comments.

1. Your tone of voice is pleasant and engaging. Keeps me interested in listening further.
2. Goals of video clear, progression logical and easy to follow.
3. Nice how you markedly identify each topic into which you segue.
4. Criteria for submitting theme succinct and direct.
5. Not sure if you had a time constraint - suggest adding a pause here and there (like using 'white space' on a page), or slowing down a second or two between topics.

Thank you.

Thanks @ironnysh and @Soir7
