Hello everybody!

I've been getting a few inquiries as to how often and how many tutorials are added to the database each day, and on top of that, Donna recently suggested I remind everyone of our update schedule. I guess I should take a hint :tiphat:

So, to anyone that wonders how often we update, the mystery ends! Now that I am working on P2L more or less fulltime, a minimum of 20 tutorials are approved and added to the listing daily. When a tutorial is approved, it is moved into a live queue, and the main page of P2L is updated with a tutorial from this queue every 30 minutes. So if there are 50 approved tutorials in the queue, that means a new tutorial will be posted to the main page every 30 minutes for the entire day.

We receive hundreds of submissions every day and only a small portion are actually approved for multiple reasons, hence the wait time for your tutorials to be reviewed average 7 - 10 days, although I am striving to keep that at 3 days or less.

Enjoy the regular updates folks and thanks to everyone that takes the time to submit their tutorials! <3

Dan

What are some things you look for in a tutorial?

And thanks for letting us in on how often the tutorials are updated :P. Now I know I can look on the homepage every half hour to see new tutorials :). And see if any of mine got in :P

Wow this should clear everything up for people, Also about the 50 tuts approved do you have to make it so that a new one is updated every 30 mins or is it auto? If its auto that's some nice coding ;)

Well Also I guess I speak for everyone when I say great work on the site, taking so much time out of your day to do stuff for people you don't even know, now that's commitment ;)
