@jonathanbossenger looks good!

• Are you still planning to add a closing slide + outro? That was the only thing that seems to be missing.

Otherwise, nice beginner breakdown of a lesser-known topic!

Hi @quitevisible thanks for the review

Are you still planning to add a closing slide + outro? That was the only thing that seems to be missing.

I don't generally add a closing slide or outro unless there is something relevant to add at the end of the lesson. If there are additional reading, or documentation links that are relevant to the lesson, I add them at the end, as a wrap up/summary, as I have done in this case. If there are some considerations to be aware of, I might add those as well, as I did for the custom post type lesson. But otherwise, I don't like adding an outro or closing side just for the sake of having one, if it doesn't add value to the lesson.

That's a nice video tutorial on how to create a custom taxonomy as sometimes the traditional default taxonomy is not enough to work with.
