  Lesson Updates - Updating Headlines

Why does the headline for this site still read "New Lesson - The Star Spangled Banner for intermediate players." when three new lessons have since been added?

I thought it was strange that this hasnt been updated for weeks. As a web designer I know that the number one aspect of a site that keeps bringing back visitors while adding new ones is content.... content, content, and more content. While this content is being updated, its buried. First you have to scroll allllll the way to the bottom of the page to the Guitar Lessons Forum, determine which section has the correct lessons, and then you have to click on the link, say "Wow! There are four weeks of lessons here that I have been missing!" and then proceed to view the lessons. This information should be dead first, not dead last in your content lineup. I would recommend that the Guitar Lessons forum be moved above everything else if you wish to gain users. As for popularity, you've got a great tool for viewing what kind of lessons are more popular, and perhaps more appropriate, for your audience. Simply looking at lessons with a high volume of views, and examining what aspects of those lessons are alike or similar, is one way of determing what your visitors want. Your definately growing, but a small thing like not updating the headlines can hurt your page-hits.

Hmm, but there are perhaps reasons why you would want to cut back on users... just a thought.

Hope I helped... perhaps I should have said something earlier.
