Observations/Thoughts
- I feel like these speak for themselves.
- The first user had a bit of trouble finding the “Add Menu” link, but I’m okay with that seeing as a) it conforms to the way other “add new” links are done in the admin, and is likely much easier for users who have used WP before to any degree, b) as we’ve discussed adding more than one menu is somewhat of an edge case for the majority of users.

I have to agree with user #14 at around 3:10: “how do I create a new menu?” hmmm….a HA! there it is up top. there is a good 4 second pause.
I think the add new menu need to be a little more prominent – the problem is that on the edit screen there are a lot of items in the visual field. I think part of the problem is that the “Menu 1 has been Updated.” message creates a giant dividing line in the visual field. If we have it auto slide up after a few seconds, it will make it cleaner, and make it easier for a user’s eyes to drift up to “Menus – add new”
