Now this page is being used abit more, I'll 're-suggest' something.
A Tutorials section

We have an FAQ, which is great, but for some techno-numpties (I fully include myself in this) sometimes seeing the words 'html code' can strike fear into the heart of any grown man who isn't fully internet savvy.

To add to this, sometimes when the /board gets a bit heated there's lots of 'FAQ/Optimise it/Use scanlines/make it a gif'* (delete as applicable)

- which some new users (and a fair few of the old ones) may not know how to do.


Basically, it's a suggestion for a 'one stop tutorial shop' on the site, where helpful advice could be put up for reference. Many fine b3tans have produced tutorials for optimising, scanlines, illustration and photoshopping techniques and time saving ways of using image software, so it would be nice to have that on the site as a 'one stop resource' for all to use and get helpful info. from.

You would probably find a fair few people willing to lend a hand producing tutorials and guides for a range of things. In fact, set out some template pages which we could use, and make an image challenge of it. Helpful to all, and with piccies (maybe incorporating some unique b3ta humour into it as well!). The most popular in terms of info, guidance and being able to be 'easy to understand' then go in a new and improved tutorials sections, and which self-respecting b3tan wouldn't kill for a place in a new section of b3ta?

Obviously if people are intending to post reasonably big tutorials as part of any image challenge, then maybe a word about making a thumbnail and linking to it, and how to do it, wouldn't go amiss either :)

good idea.
i'm useless and unskilled so i would reference it. many people here have helped me over the years, and lemony's and maiden's tutorials have been particularly great resources.

First of all, did you create the image you're trying to post yourself? If Yes, click here. If No, click here.

Yes.
I've learned loads from people being helpful.

This should be passed on through generations, could do a semi-compo sort of thing, so you can add it and then someone who's amazing at shoppery can browse/edit (for which they'll receive mod status) and then they'll abuse their mod status and so the tutorials will be deletd and this will all be a waste of time 8(
please don't let it get to this folks.

A 'Links to tutorials' section in the FAQ would more than suffice.
