I can see that I have some reading to do. All the topics here interest me, and I have a need for every one of them.
Thanks!

JHC mentioned this forum to me this morning at RBGC. I joined sometime ago, but frankly it fell off my radar until today. JHC mentioned the forum as a great resource on ways to become a better shooter. Again, thanks for bringing this content forward.
I was hoping to view the links to the training in the initial posts. However, the links no longer work. Can anyone direct me to where the correct links may be?
I used the internet archive to get the names of the articles from @ford.304's original post, then found the current links to those articles.
Everything below should work.

As a relatively new shooter, I've learned a lot from reading pistol-training.com and the forums here. However, also as a new shooter, I've occasionally felt very intimidated trying to run the current drills of the week. Trying to run "Press Six" as your first ever press-out drill is not going to be a very successful endeavor (nor was it ever intended to be). I recently discovered, in going through the older archives, that some of the original posts on pistol-training were more novice-oriented. However after nearly five years of posting, they have become somewhat buried. So I dug them up and organized them, and am posting them here to help other newcomers to the sport. I am currently working through this exact list in my own training regimen, and so far am finding it very helpful.
Thanks again to ToddG for sharing so much great shooting knowledge with anyone with an internet connection!
These are organized according to ToddG's post on the order in which we should organize our training.
https://pistol-training.com/training-priorities/
That order is:
Safety
Gun Handling
Marksmanship
Speed
Application
I hope that after practicing these drills, a new shooter would be good enough to benefit from the current "Drill of the Week" - ie, they can be working on "Speed" and be ready to get started on "Application."
