This is just a short roundup post to touch base with our NETTUTS readers. Just a few tidbits of info, including unofficial announcements of new TUTS sites and a link to an interview with our very own Collis Ta'eed.
Buttons, Buttons
Collis has created some nice Demo/ Source buttons, and I'm in the process of adding them to all previous (and future) NETTUTS tutorials. You can see these buttons already in place in Jeff Dion's Floating Menu tutorial. The buttons should make easier for readers to decide whether to read through a tutorial. (Hopefully you will.)
More Buttons
Regular readers might notice that we've switched social media buttons at the bottom of each tutorial/ article. You should now see Dzone and Reddit buttons. If you like what you've read, please give a bump up on those sites. That does not mean you cannot submit NETTUTS articles elsewhere, though Dzone and Reddit are probably most suited to NETTUTS readers.
Tutorial How-tos
Please keep tutorial requests coming in. I'm compiling them and using the list as a reference while accepting pitches for NETTUTS tutorials. While I am working with a number of potential contributors, that should by no means stop you from pitching ideas long-term, via the form link you'll find on our Tutorial Guidelines page.
My recommendation is that you pitch an idea to me first, before spending the time to code the demo and write the tutorial. Later this week, I'll post a "How to Write a Step-by-Step Web Dev Tutorial" for NETTUTS, to match the one Sean Hodge wrote for PSDTUTS a while back.
More TUTS Sites!
You might already know about the great interview that Fuel Your Creativity did with Eden.cc's own Collis Ta'eed. Read it carefully because Collis gives up a list of new TUTS sites about to launch that I didn't even know about. So I'm as excited as I'm sure most of you will be. There'll be no fewer than five new TUTS sites, with two already in the process of being set up, and the rest to follow.
For This Week
Collis will have another of his great tutorials this week, and I'll have a "Best of the Web June" roundup. If you have any questions or suggestions about the site or the tutorials and articles, please feel free to drop a comment in this post.

This all sounds great. I have a question regarding the tutorials though. You mentioned pitching a tutorial idea to you before actually writing it out. Where should those emails be sent? Should they go through the tutorial submission form?
Thanks, and looking forward to the new TUT sites!

Erik: Yes, unless you’ve already pitched me/ worked with me previously and know my NETTUTS email address. In that case, you can pitch me directly.
( )Erik Reagan June 30th
Great, thanks for the quick response. I’ll be sending something through that form shortly.
( )Braden Keith June 30th
Very cool. Glad to see expansion.
( )Erik Reagan June 30th
I hate to post again right after that – but to fill out the tutorial form I have to attach a .zip of the ‘tutorial’. Should I just attach an “empty” one to get by that and pitch the idea?
( )Furley June 30th
Thanks for the update. Keep up the great work!
( )Taylor Satula June 30th

Nvrmnd – I’m near the top again!
( )Danny July 1st
What exciting news!
( )Shane July 1st
I think one of the new tuts sites is going to be csstuts.com…
( )Andrei Constantin July 1st
Looking forward for that since the very beginning of psdtuts, Shane
( )Raj Dash July 1st
Norswap: Why is that? Is there something wrong with feed flares?
( )Raj Dash July 1st
Erik: Oh, I wasn’t aware of that. Yeah, I guess you can attach a blank .ZIP. I’ll have to look at that form.
( )Raj Dash July 1st
Shane: That’s news to me, but a CSSTUTS site is certainly possible.
( )Urban July 1st
How about a AfterEffects/Video-tuts an a audiotuts site?
( )Greetz from Germany, Urban
Raj Dash July 1st
Urban: Actually, audiotuts.com was announced and is in the process of an official launch. A video tuts site is hinted at in Collis’ interview at Fuelyourcreativity.com, though I’m guessing it won’t focus on just AfterEffects but video making in general.
( )Shane July 1st
Hmm… seems to be a bit of a rush on to be the most talkative user. On all the tuts sites.
( )Joefrey Mahusay July 1st
