To make it quicker for you guys (and easier for me *giggles*) here's how you can add your tutorials and pre-mades to the database.
They still need to be approved in most cases but it's much quicker than posting them here and waiting on me to do a batch upload.
This assumes you've already registered at the website.
1) Go to the website and login (if you aren't already).
2) On the left hand side there is a box named "My Options", under that a link saying "Submit Content". Click on that.
3) There is a nice list of things you can add, for now, click on "Tutorial".
4) You'll be presented with some or all of the following areas (this is obviously dependant upon your moderation permissions):
The things I've crossed out you don't need to bother with and will either get removed or serve no purpose in how the tutorials are displayed.
5) Fill in the items listed above to the best of your ability. If uploading an image tutorial it is best to keep it under 500 pixels wide. I'll also try to rehost tutorials where I can to spare your bandwidth but this won't happen instantly.
If you really want to spare it, best just post your tut in this board and I'll add it myself.
6) Click preview if you want to check things over or submit to process the tutorial. It will then go into the queue to be looked at. You will be notified by email if it has been accepted or rejected.

Adding Tutorials
1) Go to the website and login (if you aren't already).
2) On the left hand side there is a box named "My Options", under that a link saying "Submit Content". Click on that.
3) There is a nice list of things you can add, for now, click on "Tutorial".
4) You'll be presented with some or all of the following areas (this is obviously dependant upon your moderation permissions):
- Title - The title of your tutorial, what people will see first when they open up a tutorial category.
- Creator - Your name (please do not upload tutorials made by others).
- Parent - This is the category your tutorial falls under. Try and focus on what the tutorial is about, and don't just place it in miscellaneous. For example, a tutorial about making a blood splatter would fall under effects. If the category you require is not here, or you're not sure where to put it, post your tut in this board for me to manually upload.
- Description - A quick paragraph on what the aim of your tutorial is.
- Tutorial - The content itself. This needs to be at least 25 words.
- Input format - If you use a lot of HTML in your tutorial (HTML that needs to be displayed, not in a code tag) change the setting to Full HTML. If you use UBBC, change the setting to UBBC. There is also an option for PHP code which adds colour to PHP tags for ease of reading.
