G,day i have just installed drupal with the intentions of installing a module to handle my tutorials on my site. I wish to have a module that works just like good-tutorials.com and would like to install it on my drupal. Can somebody please tell me where i can get one and import my tutorials from my previous site. As i will need to convert my mysql database information into the module so i can easily intergrate my old tutorials onto the new system.

Importing tutorials / Custom module vs. Custom content
Hi there, Nic!
See

Take a look on how Joe on
http://www.seoecom.com/cms
organized his tutorials. Sometimes (or mostly) you do not need to have a "custom module", just standard modules with their functionality correctly implemented.
Maybe the CCK module and the correct CCK fields (image/video etc.) plus Contemplate might just be the right thing for you. I understand you will handle your tutorials as drupal nodes.
Good video tutorials that explain how to do it:
