  1. Nathan and Chetan, I really enjoyed this episode. The tips were great about fonts, templates for header and footer and all the rest. I especially liked what I’ve always had in my head buy haven’t ever expressed – having CSS (or any code) in a file makes it much easier to find any bugs, plus it’s much easier to find and organize things.

    Thanks guys!

    • Thank Terry! Glad to hear that you like Podcast!

  3. Nathan,

    Did you reduce your standards for Divi nation? You should have checked the English of this guy before taking his interview 🙂

    He is hardly understanding your questions. Answers were not adding any values here…
