I've just finsished coding a new site for php and graphics tutorials:

http://www.phpgfx.com

I would like to know what you guys think, and any help with tutorial writing of forum moderation would be greatly appreciated so if you're interested shoot me an email at admin@phpgfx.com

Copy from my reply at talkPHP:

I like the fact that it seems to be 100% selfmade, as well as the forums. Most people find it just too much work to do himself so he downloads one, and thats perfectly fine. But I always respect someone just a little bit more if i see he coded everything himself. (Since i've done the same thing with my website)

If i would be a very serious and nasty guy i would tell you the following:

- The site is very dark, maybe you should keep the outerpart of the website black, bit the inside a lot lighter.

- The only two images i saw were the header and the little icon on the forum boards. People like images (with many colors) becuase they won't have to read the text, they can tell what the button does by just looking at the icon.

- Not much difference between the "content" (eg tutorials) and the footer and stuff. It would make more sense if you would place some sort of colored spacer between them.

But in the end it's a nice website and i hope you will enjoy developing this site more and more
