  1. What is Pixel Groovy?

    Pixel Groovy is a user-controlled tutorial directory. We provide the members with the control to decide which tutorials are published on the front page and which tutorials aren't. We believe this concept provides the users with much more control over the content they would expect to see on a tutorial directory.

    When a tutorial is submitted to Pixel Groovy, it initially goes to the "Groove" section of the site. This is where the community can 'groove' the tutorial by clicking the switch to the left of the description. This will add one vote to total amount of grooves and increase its credability. Once a tutorial is found to enough grooves, it is promoted to the "Published" section. This allows the tutorial to see maximum exposure on the site.

  2. Do I need to register? What are the benifits of registering?

    No. As an unregistered user can see all the same tutorials a registered user can.

    A registered user can though:

    • Submit Tutorials
    • Groove Tutorials
    • Comment on Tutorials
    • Keep A Profile & History

    A registered user can also can easily keep track of friends and their activity on the site.

  3. How do I submit a tutorial?

    First you need to register a user name and login. Then in the upper right hand corner of the site, you'll see "submit". Continue to that page. You first need to give the URL to where the article is located. Then fill in some information about the tutorial's title, description, category and a icon preview and you're ready to submit. Once a tutorial is sucessfully submitted, it goes to the "Groove" section.

  4. How do I groove a tutorial?

    Next to each tutorial, there is a switch. The number tells the number of grooves the tutorial recieve and the switch allows you to groove the tutorial. Click on the switch to groove the tutorial. The switch should flick up and count should go up one.
