I've been looking through the tutorials section and those posts aren't being voted.

How does one gain XP for posts in the tutorial section?

I notice btrott has a lot of stuff there, but not much is moderated up. I vote for the ones I like, but not many people do.

Is there any way we can make the tutorial section more visible, or more important?

Also, is there a way to have a theory section or a section to post proposed tutorials?

    Thanks for pointing this out. I usually only vote on what shows up on my Newest Nodes list. Tutorials do not show up on the Newest Nodes area. They also don't show up on the default list of links at the top of each page. Now that I look at it they don't show up on the Monestary Gates page either. The only way I saw that section of the site was by enabling the informatoin Nodelet in my personal settings. Even then they aren't prominent. Adding them to the Newest Nodes page might help as well as adding them to the default menu of links or the Monestary Gates page.

    The reason I started listing 'Nodes of Note' on my personal page is because I had a handful of tutorials and snippets that I considered good work (hubris) and most people didn't seem to visit.

    I encourage everyone to do the same -- if you have some nodes that represent a lot of work, keep a little Hall of Fame section on your home node so that they'll be more visible.
