Survey time!

I kind of snuck this into the Skype post, but I have put together a user survey, so if you could please take a moment to fill it out, I would really appreciate it. “So we can better serve you”, and all that rot. It's ten questions, and should take no time at all. Thanks! 

Don't forget to make up and email me a unique code word or phrase (like “thriving snake farm”, or “keekirikee”) to be in the running for a random free Skype lesson.

Skype lessons coming soon

OK, then: starting in March, I'll be offering private lessons via Skype. And as I get my act together teaching this way, I think I'll give away a few free lessons. Let's do it like this: I'll select someone at random from new followers, and from people who complete the my new user survey. I'll keep doing that until I feel I'm ready to go live with it for real, so as long as this post is up, you have a chance of winning.

So! If you would like a free lesson, you can:

1. Become a member. Go to the sidebar, scroll down to where it says followers, click “join this site”, and go through whatever rigamarole Google makes you do to become a follower of the site. It will help me identify and contact you if you also send me an email letting me know you're interested, and that you became a member; my email is at the top of the sidebar under “my major links > email Todd.”
   
2. Follow this link to fill out our user survey. The last question requests that you make up a unique code word or phrase— like “Rappahannok”, or “peligro de muerte”— which you need to then email to me, so I can confirm that you completed the survey.  

Actually, please do those things even if you don't want the free lesson. And don't be shy; despite the generally hard level of stuff we have on the blog, I am quite happy to teach all levels of students.
