About the Build A Blog tutorial
Actually this is about ALL of the tutorials on CodeGrrl.
I was helping someone with the Build A Blog tutorial recently, and I realized that one of the big problems she was having was that she was pretty much just copying the code from the end of each tutorial. In doing this, she actually overwrote other changes that were important to her site.
This is not how tutorials are supposed to work. The point of a tutorial is not to do the code for you, but to teach you how to do it yourself.
Please read the tutorials and try to learn from them. And if you have any questions, we’re here to help.
If you’d like to discuss this entry, please post in this Tutorials Forum thread.

Skybly wrote a tutorial on how to display the members you added on your last update (in PHPfanbase) on the forums, and I’ve posted it on the site. This is similar to the “Display most recent members joined” tutorials, but this one displays the right number of members per update - ie. if you last updated yesterday and added two members, it will show the two members’ names. Very cool.

I’ve just added two tutorials. The first one is something I got asked for several times, and here it is now: using Tooltips with PHPCalendar. The second one is for PHPQuotes, which teaches you how to add a random quote to any page you wish.

Added a new Tutorial that’ll show you how to display the 5 most recent comments (although that number can be easily changed) in your MT blog that are made by anyone but you. You’ll need to be using the MySQL version of Movable Type for this, and your pages need to have a .php extension.

Tutorial: Total individual member count
With this little script, you’ll be able to display a “Total Member Count” for each of your fanlistings, all together on one page, as seen on the Member Count Page of my fanlisting collective.
If you’re already using the Total Member Count Tutorial, this’ll be very easy to implement, as you can use the same arrays.php file for it.
