I am so glad I’m a member – Here’s a toast to the Tuts+ Network, arriving in my life at the -perfect- time!
Sorry, but I just don’t agree with paying for tutorials which relate to free software.
You get WordPress for free, make your tutorials relating to it free. Fair’s fair.
Oh come on! It’s not fair it’s plus tutorial. Just because it’s so useful.
I have a tuts+ account and i am locked out…even i can’t view it. Could an administrator please help me with this. I have done the forgot password form, which doesn’t work by the way!, signed up and placed a help ticket even tried to get help on twitter. Someone please help. I want to access what i paid for!
Can any one else smell the fishyness around here or is it just me?
