Appreciating that there are many ways to present tutorials and guides and tests - usually with short and separate topical clips - I've "overcranked" with enthusiasm this past week, and thrown together a complete interactive guide that runs over two hours long, paired with a unique interactive website that facilitates easy indexed browsing for watching sections in discrete video players:

Simply monumental to have this all in one place. Thank you so much for your efforts, Paul. I think it’s valuable for noobies and experts alike. Very generous of you to do this on our behalf.

Thanks, Rick.

Thanks, Paul! Wonderful resource...now I can send people there instead of answering the same questions over and over.

I do not answer the same questions over and over, I just send the OP to the previous thread with the answer. BTW, great resource Joe
Cheers

Thanks all, glad it's of some help plugging holes for anyone looking.
