Creating a tutorial is for posting a tip or trick about Windows 8 to share with others to help them. Please do not create a tutorial to ask a question about a problem. The Windows Eight Forums is used for separate questions instead. Please only post a reply or question about a tutorial inside that tutorial instead.

Post New Tutorial - This is located at the upper left corner of the Tutorial Submissions subforum in the VIP Lounge forum, but not while you have a tutorial open. Click on the Post New Tutorial button to create a new tutorial. Here they will be reviewed until approved and moved to Tutorials. If you do not have permission to post here, then you have not reached the "Power User" badge level or higher yet.

Options - To type in a Title, Byline, and Shorty synopsis for your tutorial. Type in a desciption of your tutorial in the synopsis section to have it display as a quick description for your tutorial listed in on the Tutorial homepage. At the bottom select the Category that you want the tutorial to be displayed and sorted under.

Your Message or Edit Post - This is just like posting in the Windows Eight Forums sections. Type in your tutorial here. You can use this link for BB codes to help allow you to add special formatting to your tutorial such as the yellow TIP, blue NOTE, and red WARNING boxes. When finished, click on the Submit New Tutorial button at the bottom to post your new or edited tutorial.
