*~ Updated 2/7/07 ~*
Five new tutorials added.
Why haven't I been updating? Because I went and got myself a job where I teach people how to use MS Office and Adobe InDesign. That pretty much killed any desire I have for collecting tutorials but I'm going to try and get back in the hunt. In the mean time, the place I work for has a whole site full of tutorials on... well, pretty much anything you want to learn how to do on a computer. Check it out:

Looking for more tutorials!
Send me your favorite tutorials or tutorials you wrote. If I think they're good, I'll add them to this list with "suggested by (your name)" after the link.
I consider good to be the following:
1. Easy to read/understand. This means the tutorial must be in English and use proper grammar and spelling. I'm not wasting time on some yabo who can't be bothered to run a spell check.
2. Have images. How can I possibly know if I'm doing something right if I don't know what it's supposed to look like?
3. Be about something useful. The tutorial should be about something that isn't common knowledge. I don't want to read about how to use the dump bucket.
Except for places like Sci-fi Src where this would be impossible, I personally, if not try out, then read through, each and every one of the tutorials linked here. So you know you're getting something useful.
