- Related courses will help when looking at a particular course (you already have tags and search, so I think it might be easy to do this)
- Your login form is a bit too intrusive for my taste. Why do I have to check my email to continue using the service? (I dropped out at that point and didnt get to see a course)
I didnt mind a signup for testing ur service but checking my email was a blocker.
I have 2 emails (both on gmail) and one I dont check at all. Used for experimenting. To see that inbox I have to signoff from my account and log in there, wade through spam to find your mail.
1. You can already see the content without signing up (at least the course overview pages). It is probably not obvious but the Course Catalog link at the top is accessible when you are not signed in. I didn't want people to get lost in looking at courses (especially when there aren't many yet) because I want them to sign up and get involved in the community.
2. Related courses is a great idea, thanks!
3. Due to comments here I am reconsidering the email verification step. Most people just use a trash or temp address to get around it anyways (like I do).
Some gripes: - Please allow me to see content without a signup. it will help in SEO too.
- You can put up this on your hompage :) http://www.cafecourses.com/courses/3-course-creation-101 and invite people to take up more courses (if #1 is done)
