I wanted to share this content feedback on one of my original tutorials from 2020.

The learner came across my (very long) tutorial and shared feedback that the content was out of date. I replied with the updated tutorials for that same content.

However, I did note that the learner came to the tutorial via organic search, so it got me thinking, as we move towards the learning pathways/learn redesign, what should we plan for when it comes to older content.

We should probably do some sort of review as to what content is still coming up in online searches, and then add similar notices to the ones I added on this tutorial, about how there are updated versions.

So I wanted to bring this up, and maybe start a larger conversation around formalising how we deprecate older content.

Update: removed dev-squad as there was no triage last week.

Update on the Learn WordPress remake from one of the developers on the project:

[jonathanbossenger]

I'd like to ask content creators and developers in the training team to share their thoughts and feedback on the following lesson

#2378

This is a collaboration between myself and @ agiljulio. Agil's style of content creation is sightly different from mine, s0 I want to use this to explore what we (the training team) think works and should be kept, and what not.

Things to consider (some of which have been altered during the initial review):

• use of sound effects (please see the first version of the video), some like it, some do not
• transition speeds and use of blur effects
• code examples, showing them in an IDE or not
• use of dark mode vs light mode

Please watch the different versions of the video, as well as the review feedback shared so far, and share any other thoughts you might have in the comments.

Please also make a note that no one from dev-squad is available to host triage this week, and so we've agreed to move it to next week.
