Tutorial Magazine

As many of you repeat-visitors might have noticed, the design of tutorialmagazine.com has been updated :D The last couple of days there haven’t been many tutorials added because I’ve been working out the kinks of the new design, but from now on there will be a steady stream of updates :D

Hi everyone! Today the 100th tutorial has been added to Tutorial Magazine, lets see how long it takes to hit 200 ;)

I’ve had to temporarily disable some tutorials (so they are not shown) becuse the sites they are on have gone down. I’m still trying to figure out how to deal with this, when there are more than 100 tutorials, I can’t really check each one to see if it is online every day. I’ve looked for php scripts to do this, but haven’t found any that look capable of the task just yet. I’ll keep looking.

Some stats: 100 tutorials in the directory

Visitors first week: 3054

Tutorials viewed: 5295

RSS subscribers: 72

Today I’ve done an overhaul on the RSS-feed, it was looking quite boring with just text links to the tutorials, so I’ve added images to every post so you can see the tutorial before you visit it. If you haven’t already, subscribe to the RSS feed!

The launch on Saturday night went fairly well, there have been some issues and bugs that I’ve tried to fix quickly. The site has been down for a few minutes here and there (anyone know a good webhost?) but for the most part been stable.

Some statistics for the first 48 hours:

1023 visitors (874 unique)

1828 tutorials viewed (thats almost 2 per visitor)

77 visitors have rated tutorials

29 signups for the RSS Feed

Most users online at the same time: 17

I’m really happy with how things have gone these few first days, I think the future is bright for TutorialMagazine!

Thanks for visiting, and be sure to come back soon!
