1. Do a search for " ", which is a single space character. (Type the spacebar once in the search textbox.) This will return all 3 tutorials that I have made.

---------------------------------------------
This site has an EXCELLENT domain. It comes with a unique homepage, featuring a search interface that is rare among tutorial sites as a feature. The new owner should continue to improve it, as it would be the main idea of the site - to find tutorials fast and learn quickly (Hence, "GO Tutorials")
If you have speakers on and viewed the site for the first time, you will notice a sound that plays; it's a small Flash file that plays a synthesized voice - I have it play only once to reduce bandwidth usage. Cool, eh?
The site features a nice tutorial listing interface with CSS rollovers, graphical difficulty display, and icons for the tutorials.
One of the neatest features of GoTutorials is GeSHi - which is the Generic Syntax Highlighter (link to it is on GoTutorials), which can highlight, by syntax, over 40 programming languages. Therefore, GoTutorials would support nearly ANY type of programming tutorials! You can see a sample on the PHP & MySQL Basics tutorial (link above) - that's just PHP. There's ALL sorts of languages. The installation is tricky, mind you, and I put in a good 2 or 3 hours configuring it.
The site has a nice administration panel - add/remove categories, create subcategories as DEEP as you want (e.g. category, sub category, sub sub category, sub sub sub category) and also add tutorials, of course. Edit tutorials started not finished, delete tutorials needs to be done (very easy to do)
The new tutorial admin page is nicely fitted with a script that automatically saves code snippets in the database as a language, then just inserting a special string like this:
::code.2::
Would insert the entire code snippet. Also, image uploading is a nice feature. Just select the image, upload it, and it gives you a similar code to paste in the tutorial:
::image.6::
Then, when viewing a tutorial, it automatically creates the special green boxes and automatically indents the text for code snippets. It's a smooth system. I experimented with some JS to do it more easily, but was unsuccessful (still works WONDERFULLY as is though!)
I don't care what you do with it as long as you don't put popups on, and create the tutorial yourself or have people do them for you - I would prefer that you, as the new owner, NOT just use a tutorial found elsewhere - create original content, which is the general idea of this site as well.
The site has 261 uniques since September and I have not advertised it AT ALL. NONE. NOTTA. Well, I told like 4 or 5 people, but the rest come from whois.sc/gotutorials.com or typein.
Domain at GoDaddy, free push, expires in about 7 months.
I would LOVE to see this site flourish. It could become so great - add forums so users could post their own tutorials there for even more traffic.
