** Leave an additional comment below with feedback. You can also share what you liked about this Tutorial. Cynthia, nice job! This is a really good overview of "What is a theme?". You stick with the essentials, and don't get too detailed. :25 - Suggest that you show the nav area and how to find the Themes on WordPress.org: Extend > Themes :25 - Maybe slow down the scroll so that users can see a few of themes listed 1:12 - Nice how you show the layouts and features that new developers can include in a theme 1:45 - So important that you mention accessibility and contrast as one of the key attributes 3:41 - Suggest being more specific: Plugins control specific behaviors of your site. 3:48 - You tell the user about getting started with theme development, which, for me, is a whole different topic. Maybe the phrasing could be adjusted to something like: "If you are interested in getting started with theme development..."

@cynthianorman great introduction to WordPress themes, I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the module.
I just have two pieces of feedback.
I realize this second suggestion means you'll have to re-record your "learning outcomes" slide, but I think that will help the flow of information for this lesson.
I would also add that I should have picked this this earlier when you set up the learning outcomes, so I apologize for not seeing this sooner.
Can I also just add that I ❤️ the extra design elements you've added to your slides, you're going to force me to up my slide game 😁
Thanks so much for taking the time to provide feedback @jonathanbossenger
