Had some feedback that it was confusing to introduce the idea of writing to JSON before reading from it, at that the step would flow better if it were the other way round.

Plan to introduce fs.readFile first, then fs.writeFile later on.

The instructions asked to use res.sendFile. As the script.js is trying to GET request, its first confusing to use GET request in server.js as well, and to respond with the same blogpost again when POSTing it.

The workshop asks to npm init in step 1, and to install npm in step 2.
Less confusing if installed in step 1 😄

Add a licence so this is open source.

Need to add a screenshot of what the package.json file will look like with Express saved as a dependency.

Should probably explain what npm is in the second step before talking through installing Express. Can use content from Step 2 in the original CMS workshop README.

Once again a tutorial that makes you copy and paste a bunch of code then leaves you hanging.
