I have a tutorial series here on ModDB and it has now been authorized for display on Desura. While this is quite awesome, this means that I can't edit the list of links at the beginning of each tutorial, these links go to all the other tutorials I've made so users can easily find more of my tutorials. So I add a new link to every tutorial each time I add a new one. Example: Moddb.com

This also means that I can't make any future changes to them like add new art (I have been planning to) to make them look better and what not. Sure I can contact ModDB staff every time I want to make a change, but I doubt you guys would want to do my work for me.

Is there perhaps some way I can go about to make that list dynamic? Could it be parsed from an external address for example? That would solve my problems. So I'm basically looking for a feature here that would make it easier for me to make changes to my content in Desura.

You are quite right on this. I'm still not absolutely certain what to do with the "tutorial" section as seen by my thread here: Moddb.com

At the moment I think you will just have to contact us regarding updating them... until I can figure out a better idea

I couldn't make you guys do that, it's such tedious work to update those links and it gets worse every time I post a tutorial.
