feedback on tutorials please

How do you like the layout, writing, and graphics of my tutorials? Are they clear and as effective as possible? I don't want to make a lot more and then find out that theres a better way to put it together. What do you think? Thanks for your help.

I just skimmed them quickly...but they look fine. Thats the way i set up tutorials anyway....2 columns...pics on left..description on right. Nothin fancy is needed as ppl just want information lol

well i think i was a good candidate to test that since i didn't know how to do it :D

i got through the whole tutorial in beginner and when i went to delete, it didn't fully erase. then i notice that my brush opacity was at 75%.

you might want to add 'make sure opacity is 100%' or something like that so noobs like me don't make that mistake and have to start over :p

I would say more but I don't want to hurt your feelings, the best advice that I could hand off to you is that you should elaborate more.

I'm not a little kid - it's not going to hurt my feelings. That's why I'm asking this now while there's only two tutorials. I can elaborate more but what exactly did you have in mind?

I see that some people have the tool icons saved and they put them in parentheses after the instructions. Would that be useful?

Should I find the key words or important parts and do some bold/italic? Or would that make it less readable?

A-Pek - I'll make sure it says opacity 100%. Did you get hung up any other places?

And to you advanced PS users - is there anything else I should add that would be of use? I realize that deleting is frowned upon (I don't do it much) so maybe I should add the possibility of making a layer mask with the selection instead. With link to a different tutorial about layer masks. How does that sound?

Thanks for all your help - I want people to come back to my site.
