Learning Launch: Going Back to Our Roots with SEO Classes

Today is a happy day for me. OSTraining is going back to its roots.

Back in early 2007, my full-time job was doing SEO for websites. As a sideline, I wrote a Joomla SEO Book. It was just a short PDF, but it was a step into training. The book proved popular and later that year I added videos and a support forum.

During the intervening 6 years, we slowly expanded our focus to include the whole of Joomla, and then Drupal, WordPress and Coding.

Today, I’m delighted to say that we’re going back to our roots and adding several new SEO classes to OSTraining. We’re also offering SEO and marketing support in our forum.

Today we launch with two classes. Over the next three weeks, we’re adding three more classes.

There’s also a new area of the support forum for all your SEO and Marketing questions.

Here’s an overview of the live and upcoming classes. All in all, it will be over 70 SEO and marketing videos, with more to come.

Going back to my roots

In addition to being a website geek, I love soul music and today seems like a good day to share a classic song. Richie Havens became a star at Woodstock but he released this over a decade later:
