There are nice tutorials posted in this group every week. They are usually links to
YouTube videos or peoples blogs. Because of the way facebook's walls work, posts
get 'lost' over time, and many of those tutorials get forgotten. This is why i'm
creating this document - to serve as a place when you can come and take a second
look at some of the techniques that can make your work easier.

The basic form this document should be edited is that for all tutorials there
should be a Title, short Description, and ofcourse the Link to the tutorials
themselves. So lets get this going and thanks to everyone who joins in editing this
in the future :)
