Great progress, congrats! Your site design is really fantastic. Not just the look but the demo video, Get Started call to action, etc.

Interesting story there. We'd get emails saying: Why can't we see a working demo of PadPressed? We did, but it just wasn't clear enough. So, I rewrote the site copy over the weekend to highlight that like whoa.

Agreed- I really dig the design.

However, one little nitpick: the copyright and credit text at the bottom of the footer are killing me with the text shadow. My eyes strained to make out the characters.

In the About section for you on the link, it's got 'PodPressed' and is linking to podpressed.com.

It's great when people are so helpful. It's the little things that change how you feel about your day.

Thanks. Fixed it.

He had both domains so I didn't catch the mistake when I tested it.
