Thanks for mentioning WP101, Jeff! While many WordPress professionals do send their customers to our membership site for training, our WP101 Plugin is far more popular (and arguably more effective) for providing basic video training for beginners.

The plugin provides the videos directly within the customer's own WordPress dashboard, without having to visit another site. Plus, you can also add your own custom video tutorials and they'll appear alongside our tutorial videos.

GoDaddy uses the plugin to provide our WordPress 101 videos to all their managed WordPress customers. So, if you're sending your customers to GoDaddy for hosting, our videos are already included!

I participated in the NUX group you mentioned above, and felt that we made some solid recommendations to improve the new user experience in WordPress itself. I'd love to see that group resurrected. But until then, we'll continue to make the WP101 videos available to help new WordPress users get up to speed as quickly as possible!
