For my senior independent study project at my University I am working on creating a blog with general programming topics, tutorials, tips and tricks, etc. for a wide variety of languages with the ultimate goal that professors can use it as a tool to help students. My main problem is that I have never actually tried teaching programming, a lot of what I know just came pretty naturally, so I have a hard time figuring out if what I write will be accessible to a college level student with minimal experience in programming while not being too drone for juniors/seniors who are computer science majors. I just finished my first basic tutorial and was wondering if I could get some feedback before sending it to my professor.

Your page was not that hard to follow assuming that someone knows some basic things…
Here is an idea: Use WordPress so you can have multiple pages
Have the intermediate post on the 1st page with a link to the beginner post for those that need help getting started and an advanced post for those at a higher level.
You can also achieve this in Blogger.com but I have found WordPress easier to navigate personally.
