Don't you think writing about it is a good to minimize the amount forgotten generation to generation? Even if they write something that is flat out wrong, someone will probably tell them and everyone might learn. Also I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss building websites on Django (or any other framework) as easy. I imagine many things are easier, but I bet many things are harder as well, I'd think you'd be surprised at how quickly "good" designs go to shit when business requirements change every two weeks and how this effects development.

Positives: 1. Generally great idea. 2. Very nice css, looks beautiful. 3. Really like the blank page section - it really encourages people to get involved. (make this more prominent). Advice/Criticism: Just looked at it for a few minutes but here are my first impression thoughts: 1. You say on home page it is for practice and personal progress, but all I see is other people's are that is way better than mine. 2. You feature the practice engine but it only has two courses, and feels incomplete. (plus it looks like you are asking for my money before you convince me I should use your site / before I even fully understand the purpose). Maybe try to feature your best feed back coupled with the piece instead of your most popular art. Add more classes and make a couple of them (more obviously) free. Encourage me to upload art from the start - right now it feels like I should focus on other peoples art instead of my own.
Couldn't agree more, my family has had macs for probably about 8-10 years. I was going to buy an iphone in December when my 2-year contract finished, but I almost certainly will not. Simply because I do not want to support such utter bullshit.
