Great question! To enter the contest, a tutorial must be posted in it's entirity to the Tutorial section http://www.webmasterpost.com/forum/f...splay.php?f=92

If you want to submit tutorials in order to get more traffic for your site (but not for contest), you can go to www.WebmasterPost.com and click the "submit" button. This will allow you to just post your link and when someone clicks on your tutorial, it will send them to your site :)

Thanks Deluxe, will go see what tut's I want to enter..

Next question lol, can I just copy and paste the HTML code from my site to here?
How many can I enter?

Is it only the winning tutorials you then share the rights for?

I'm so sorry that I didn't see this question earlier or would have answered it sooner. Yes and yes are the answers. You can copy and paste from your site to here. And yes, for the 3 winners, think of it as selling your tutorial to WebmasterPost. You would share the rights of the three winning tutorials with us but of course you could keep displaying it at your own site as well.

As for those tutorials that don't win, they will still be displayed in the "tutorial" section just as they are now but you retain full rights and we continue to leave your information displayed as the copyright holder.

Constance & Chirag what are you spending your winnings on???

You don't have to tell me I'm just really nosy :D

Constance

This basically went to helping a friend out, as his friend is in jail and I supplied him most of the bail money ($100 + $30 more of my own). Just helping those in need!

Thanks everyone! I will be sticking around for sure. :)

Me.........I'm being selfish and spending it on me lol

There's some artist's tubes I've wanted for a while so buying them..with the rest...probably more tubes lol

Constance what a sweet thing to do, you are a friend in a million :D

Chirag, I remember my first earnings...I babysat for a neighbour the agreed amount was £5 about $10 (going back what 16yrs or so) I was paid the £5 up front but when they came back they were sooooo drunk they gave me all their change too as a thank you....I walked away with just shy of £50 ($100 give or take) I went into town the next day and bought a pair of Levi 501's. I still have them to this day hung in a suit bag in the wardrobe. They don;t fit me anymore :( but I have some treasured memories of wearing those jeans lol

3rd Place goes to Statd:

There has been a change in the status of the winners. One thing we were committed to in this contest was that each of the winners verify that they hold the rights to the tutorial. I can not confirm this for our 3rd place winner so we have picked a different 3rd place winner:
Statd has taken 3rd Place: http://www.webmasterpost.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3856

Congratulations Statd on a very nice Tutorial! Please PM me your paypal email address and I will send you your $25 prize :)
