1. Site is down.
2. Loads of your articles are ripped

The photoshop articles are just copied directly from here:

Maybe you should write articles YOURSELF before you ask for people who write articles.

Our site is down, due to tech-hosts, so this is completely out of our control. And also, our articles are not ripped, we had permission to edit them, and only three/four of them are edited anyway. And as for me writing, I was far too busy with editing the site ready for launch. The other administrator has written several articles himself. The edited posts are thanks to a wordpress plug-in called press this, and the original posters are made aware of this.

Btw, the site didn't actually go down, it was just slower then normal. This has been resolved several mins ago by tech-hosts.

Yes but that is for blogging purposes, not for articles sites - you're trying to pass these articles off as your own.

This was never our intention, but I do see what you mean, especially as I watermarked the images with sourceful tutorials. We are no longer using the press this plugin, and all articles will be written by us. Also the tutorial has a link to the original site so they are getting the credit.

Wow..you and Dougie are still alive? :P
Not a bad layout, it views more like a blog layout though (wordpress?).

And lol @ this article
http://www.sourceful.co.uk/?p=190&page=3

It's not called Red Dead Redemption 2, as its prequel was named Red Dead Revolver..and the regular price is £40.

As far as WordPress sites go I quite like the style you're using.

Having said that it seems for me atleast that your website is still loading quite slow.

I think this is due to our hosts, tech-hosts. Thanks for your comments. We will look into how to get our site to load faster.

If you're looking for a bit of a speed pickup then install W3 Total Cache (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/w3-total-cache/). It's a site with a bit of momentum behind it, but you need to trace back some of the tutorials to their original author, most of which are Tutorial9 (http://tutorial9.net).

Best of luck with it and don't forget about your social bookmarking, start out with a Retweet button (http://help.tweetmeme.com/2009/04/06/wordpress-plugin/) and build from there :)
