This class was a great way to get my feet wet with website hosting, blogging, themes, and plugins. I am considering purchasing an online retailer and I now feel prepared to meet the tech challenge of my venture. Rishu was really concise and clear with his lesson. He was well prepared for class and was well versed in the subject matter. He was also great with specific questions and was willing to stay after class for individual help.
