It seems like most people don't realize that this site is a TUTORIALS site. If you look at the sidebar, there are way FEWER options than most JK sites. WHY? WELL, most of them actually have CONTENT! Fancy that. It's not like a regular news site where you just read the news and ignore the rest of the bull, this site has a damn big lot of tutorials and basic editing techniques to HELP all you editors out. Don't know what a "thing" or a "vertex" is? Go to the "Basic Editing" section. There, you will find numerous descriptions on how to do things with JED. It seems like I'm wasting my staff's time, and my own time, if we keep publishing tutorials that nobody reads.
Why am I going off like this? Well there are tons of people who ask questions on these, and the Darkjedi.com message boards, that are easily answered if they'd take the time to read through some of our info. ACK it gets frustrating writing over and over something that has ALREADY been PUBLISHED over and over. Also my fingers are tired of typing "Read the Tutorial."
Is there anything I can do to make them more accessible? I announce it every time a new one comes out, and I also add it alphabetically to the tutorials page.
We did that program, but a stand alone (non-IE4) version is not completed yet. But still, everything that's in the program is on the site...
Anyway, input would be appreciated on how I can make things easier here.
