Do you want to write for yensdesign?

Saturday, April 25th, 2009

Hi there guys! As I told you, me (Adrian) and Ivan don’t have so much time to post more tutorials in yensdesign at this time, so we are searching for people that want to write tutorials in yensdesign and promote himself showing his stuff.

What do you need to write tutorials in yensdesign?

All of you can write in yensdesign just read that:

  • Write clear and new tutorials divided in steps (like ours)
  • Write in english (you will do it better than use for sure lol!)
  • Write tutorials that aren’t published in anywhere
  • Tutorials about web design and coding (css, html, javascript, php, mysql, layouts in psd… etc)

What do you get in return?

All posts will have a little presentation attached about the author to let (a lot of!) readers know more about you and (of course) the satisfaction on helping others to learn more about web design and coding :)

Do you want to see forums in yensdesign.com?

Wednesday, December 24th, 2008

Hi there guys! We are wondering the possibility of create forums in yensdesign.com as a new section to try to help people with questions about web design and coding instead of answer only questions about our tutorials and to post suggestions about new kind of tutorials.

We received some feedback via our twitter. Some people say that It would be awesome to find solutions to their problems but other people said that It will be a bad idea for us, because it will decrease the number of comments in our entries…

So guys, We need more feedback about this idea so please respond the poll below here!

Thanks for your time and please post your opinion in addition of respond the poll!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!
