Whoa, so here starts the new series!
For those who did not read my ramblings on the first one:
I've already introduced a few people to dA, and of course I ended up being asked everything, and it was not until then that I fully realized the vast extent of deviantART! And somehow, I also ended up being the person other newbies ask questions... for whatever reason. So, here's the deviantART tutorial for Devious Newbies, newly updated for dev5 as well!
And if you have questions, if I left anything out, tell me as well!!!! I assure you I don't bite. Well - most of the time.
Oh yes - and beware the enormous filesize.

dA tutorial - Part One
dA tutorial - Part Two
dA tutorial - Part Three
dA tutorial, Interlude 1 - Password Changes

another really good tutorial about dA, including subscriber features, by *lista04 : [link]
and a tutorial about how to make your first Impressions on dA as good as you possibly can, by *diane-butler : [link]
Are you confused by all the copyright stuff on dA? this tutorial here , by *snapesgirl34 will probably help you a lot! (unfortunatly, the file size is even bigger than my tutorials...)

I dedicate these series to , the best mom ever!

Wow. I've been looking for a tutorial to use to show my friend around for a while. This is perfect. Everything is very clear and easy to see (especially with those awsome orange arrows), it's not as cramped, cluttered and confusing as many other tutorials (that are also out-of-date); and splitting it into parts makes it much less intimidating. Things are also presented in a nice easy-to-follow sequence. Very nice tutorial, thank you for putting it together.

Hopefully this gets some more exposure. It's possibly one of the best newbie-guides I've found.

wow!!! thanks so much!!!
and I must correct you here - it is out-of-date. but it's kind of hard keeping it exactly the way dA is now, since every month or sowe get a new feature, a button changes place and/or shape and stuff...
and thanks. although at times I regret the time and work it took up to make, comments like yours always make it worth it again. I hope it helps your friend!

You say it's out-of-date, but really the only things missing are little details that the people who would need this wouldn't be worrying about quite yet. The other tutorials I've found (among those that are coherent) are old enough that they're for other dA versions entirely. extremely confusing for a newcomer.

I'm sure she'll be very grateful, she's hopelessy confused at the moment. (And I will be too... your effort means I don't have to do all the explaining)

Wow THANK YOU!!! :')
I am really really happy that my tuts DO seem to help someone...
About name changing: nope, it's not possible. not officially, at least. but you could go to the ~DA-Orphanage , see if you like one of the names there and adopt it or do a name trade in general...
