Site improvements we will making over the next few weeks :

- Tidy up how Tags appear (on all pages)
- Add blog specific sidebar for blog listing page
- Add a new custom field to the videos which will tell you “How this particular video benefits you” (we’re working on figuring out a better way to word that, it’s a bit clunky, but we want to make it really obvious what result you will get from watching any given video)
- Reviewing the plugins we use on the site currently, ensuring we have everything we want installed
We will update this community forum thread regularly – feel free to add your suggestions and comments!
