Wow, Tony, thanks so much! I've just poked around the learning edition a bit, and have enjoyed it so far. I hope your site will help get me ahead of the curve, though the big dive will probably wait for summer. For now I have to find the right balance between indulging my geek-impulse (to understand TW5 well) and responsibly learning just enough (for now) so that I can back to *using* (and developing bottom-line content for) the site that I'll be teaching out of in just a couple weeks. After years of teaching my big course out of TW Classic for about forever (since 2005 actually), it's hard to imagine any other way of organizing information for students.
I'm still grieving the loss of something like Clint Checkett's Redirect macro, for reasons much like those mentioned by tobaisch a couple years ago (in a post to which you responded), and I'm perplexed that nothing like it seems possible with TW5. But in all other ways, TW5 is looking like such a runaway boost to everything I already loved about TW Classic!
