I've noticed a lot of posts about 'where can I get a good tutorial for this' and etc. I just wanted to link you all to this awesome LiveJournal community - it's helped me a lot and you can post questions there. A ton of people go to it, so usually your questions can be answered within a day (or even hours!minutes!nanoseconds!)
And it is
here.
and in case you want to see some of my work (yeah, I plug, but it's an example of how much this site can help! xD):
click here to go to my icons journal.
I'll make this a sticky thread so we don't get any more posts asking for a good tutorial site. =D
Of course you guys can still ask questions here though. xD
