jTutorials - jQuery Tutorials & Examples

A while back myself and a friend released a new website, jTutorials. We currently serve over 35 tutorials, including a set of videos!

If you're looking to learn about jQuery or advance your current jQuery knowledge, take a look at jTutorials!

Yesterday we reached 1000 unique visitors, since July 25th, although to some that may not seem like a lot, we're very proud of ourselves!

So, take a look. www.jTutorials.co.cc

 

Congrats with the site, you have some great content for the beginner jquery enthusiast.

If I may offer some advice:
- Add syntax highlighting
- If you're not going to add a thumbnail to each post, better to remove that functionality entirely. Default thumbnail image is very "in your face".
- Put sidebar to the right, not left. Make it smaller so that content area can be wider.
- Make the demo & download buttons smaller. (or put them next to each other instead of under each other)

 

For syntax highlighting I use WP Syntax as you can see here : http://kbeezie.com/view/ajax-with-jquery/ (though the javascript colors aren't quite as punchy as the PHP colors, but they're apparently based on "GeSHi")

 

Thanks for the comments guys!

I shall move the sidebar to the right. The thumbnails are only there as they are required by the theme we use.

Syntax highlighting can be added and will be shortly.

 

Themes are very easily modified as I've done so on a great number of occasions, could even modify the code where it looks for the custom field to not show the thumb box at all if no value is provided.

 

Yes they can, but I like how it keeps everything organized (I'm an organized person).

We still have some theme modifications to make anyway, so keep looking out!

 

Alright, I have moved the sidebar position, I'm not too sure it looks better this way?

 

Well, I like it better. Most sites have the sidebar to the right so I think that's the best position.

However, I must say the sidebar doesn't have much value, only for the tag cloud which is questionable in itself. It seems to me that the top nav is more than enough. At least for the content pages it would be nice to have a full width. Anyway, I don't expect you to make this change, just sayin'

 

I like the idea of full page width for posts. Would allow us to extend other things.
