Looking for Good-Tutorials Moderators

To be fair, it's a ripped tutorial.
It's not a perfect process, admittedly, but it's something that we're continually working on and improving. The next version will help out a great deal, too. It's a little disingenuous to say something akin to "you should only let in top range tutorials" and on the same token "you should have accepted mine". In this case, for this tutorial, I think we made the right decision. That's not to say that any other tutorials you submit will be rated the same; perhaps your next submit will get a 5/5.
It's not a particularly great tutorial, to be honest. The formatting and presentation of the tutorial itself isn't very conducive towards learning, either, with code blocks getting squished, paragraph text not written very well, and some typos in your code blocks themselves.
Going beyond that, however, it just doesn't teach very well. It slides into a lot of the notion of "putting this in your head and this in your stylesheet" with no explanation of the theory behind what the user should be understanding. That's what Good-Tutorials is here for, after all.
Don't worry; I pull copyright infringement anyway.
Submit a thumbnail with your tutorials; that's what they're there for.
This is rather wide open to XSS and injection attacks.
Please submit thumbnails with your submissions.
I'm getting a 500 error on this at the moment.
Updated it; I think the first time it accidentally slipped by in the midst of a few other URL updates. Sorry about that, ironmonk3y.
Database errors for your tutorials right now.
