I think this is a very straightforward and well thought out tut. If you have problems following this one then try some easier ones, gain some skill,and come back to this later =)
Also, what is the problem with abbreviating the short cuts? It teaches those who don't know quicker ways to accomplish something. Besides, only Steps 6&8 had shortcuts.
If you want to complain, that's your right. Just please don't complain needlessly, and give a reason for your complaint. Don't just bash something without a legit reason.
On another note, if you have a problem completing a tut, you can post on it's thread and ask for help. Someone will step up and give you an answer =)
