Tutorial Gala

I've been working on Tutorial Gala for a while. What do you think about the layout and the domain name? :chef:

I've designed and coded the layout from scratch, here's the first version: Tutorial Gala

While I like how clean the site is, it might be beneficial for visitors to see a mroe graphical header (since it is a graphic design site). Also, your "Latest" section in the sidebar doesn't appear to be populating. I dig the title and domain of the site. But from an SEO perspective, as well as a user-experience one, you really need to specify applications. If they are photoshop tutorials, you need to say that, because I"m searching for "how to photoshop a polaroid", or "how to make a polaroid in photoshop", or "photoshop polaroid tutorial" ... not "how to design a polaroid".

Lastly, if it were my site, I'd try to put a full tutorial on each page. Step 1 of the polaroid tutorial is only 2 sentences -- that does not warrant paging.

I'm working on that, it's a small bug from the script I'm using.. I'll edit the categories, make sure everyone knows it's a photoshop tutorial site.

Thanks for the feedback!

Consider also using larger screenshots and including version info (CS2, CS3, etc), Include the words, along with "Windows" or "mac" in your copy.

Clicking the screenshot opens the larger one, but I think I can edit that from the admin panel somewhere.. The script is kind of buggy, I'll have to fix a lot of stuff. Thanks again rob!
