As soon as I understood what you were offering (make your own courses online!) I wanted to browse example courses that had been released, and it wasn't obvious how to do that.

Course Catalog link at the top. It's also the home page when you are logged in.

Ah, I see. I didn't understand what a course catalog was in this context. Maybe "Browse Courses", or place the link more centrally? Also, it should default to a few examples that are really awesome, not "Most Recent" which is full of garbage at any given moment.

Just wanted to say thank you all again for the valuable feedback.

I have taken many of the suggestions from here and updated the site's landing page to be less wordy and more to the point.

Also, I have streamlined the signup process so that you no longer have to validate your email address (although now I probably need to add a CAPTCHA or something at least).

I've also added in a new user help page that you are taken to upon signing up that tries to give some pointers on what to do next rather than just dumping you on your profile page.

Again, thank you all for the feedback!
