While searching around for training CDs for GoLive, I ran across this site. I was able to watch a few segments on GoLive from that section and they were very well done. I use GoLive to help create TheLetterheads.com, and I am always trying to learn more about it...a big change from my original Page Mill program. In the end, I paid $149 for a set CDs with 15 hours of training. They have tutorial CDs on most major software programs, too.
Of interest, however, you can subscribe for $25 for a month of unlimited use of their site, including on-line tutorials on EVERY program they support. Some of the tutorials aren't even on any of their training CDs yet. You can subscribe for a month, then cancel if you have everything under control. They also have yearly rates. If you browse around on their site, you can view quite a few random sessions for free, just to get an idea what they look like and how lessons are offered.
Well, this post isn't exactly about hand lettering, but if you are like me, I had rather watch an interactive tutorial than to read all the manuals. Unlike user manuals, these clips often offer insight about "why" you use a tool and not just how they work.

PS, I finally got around to watching the training CDs that came with my 6.0 Photoshop upgrade. You can see some of their work at www.deancollins.com, but they are mostly dedicated to Photoshop.
