Database connection error.
I, for one, am going to be happy when things finally become standardized to the point where I don't need to clutter my stylesheets with -moz and -webkit. Sounds like we're nearing that point soon, though.
Sorry, but English-only tutorials, please.
I'm just not interested in making this Good-Github-Repositories; it's a matter of focus.
Luckily, we have a slightly more comprehensive resource right here; these kind of link submissions are frowned upon.
Again, this isn't a tutorial.
Could be because you can trust Alexa data as far as you can throw it. :) Really, though, I haven't considered it relevant in half a decade, if at all.
Good points, tsdesigns. I did notice the Photoshop slant; I added some code to compensate and get some more diversity in there, but I might need to sprinkle a little bit more forced diversity on it as well. Besides, even though I have plenty of topics listed, our bread and butter is still Photoshop... people comment, view, rate, and participate more with Photoshop tutorials than others, which slants the "interestingness" factor. But that's okay; I've planned on evolving the algorithm as I continue to improve upon it in the future.
As for multiple accounts... tentative no. The idea's cool and all, but I think I want to try the "end all, be all" approach for now. Just seems straightforward and easy to comprehend, which is the main thrust of the idea to move to twitter in the first place. I could easily have reposted every tutorial there, but I want it to just be a clear-cut way of not being bothered and only seeing the one choice tutorial a day. But I'll definitely keep that and other ideas in mind as the concept moves and adapts.
To be fair, you're not even halfway into the moderation process for your newly submitted tutorials, so a lot can change by the time we actually make a decision on whether to list your tutorials or not.
For those of you commenting in this thread: go right ahead and start up a thread on help.good-tutorials.com in the appropriate section and we can take it from there. :) (Feel free to just repost what you've written here... I just want to use it to start a conversation between the two of us.)
@Nelsaidi - shouldn't take more than 5-15 minutes a day, depending on if you go through the whole queue, etc. It's not something I want to mandate ("You must commit to xx minutes a day or else!!!!", etc), since it's a volunteer position and everyone's time is valuable, but I'd also appreciate the ability to moderate on a regular basis (every day, every other day, and so on). Let me know in your help.good-tutorials.com post if you have any other questions.
