Would it be cool if I updated the "How to sprite" section, like "Advanced Spriting?"
I'd give a rundown on Opacitys,Gradients,Transparencies,Layers,Filters,Adjustments,Animation,etc.. essentially photoshop stuff, but in spriting form.
It could be of great benefit of people who have photoshop and want to try their hand at spriting, or people who use paint/apple paintbrush to sprite (I did at the start, it was awful and tedious) and encourage them to handle more daunting yet extremely superior software like photoshop.
Note that most of the stuff I write could be applied to GIMP too, free art software.

IMO go nuts, I'm interested in spriting too so I'd appreciate some better base instructions

Yeah, go for it. I use GIMP myself and can hopefully add to it too.
