feat!: Merge tutorials into blog
A good amount of tutorial pages are more akin to blog posts than tutorials. And even for the ones that are very much a "quick how-to", I feel many blogs would include them as blog posts.

-Skype has always allowed to export your chat history (and files), but it's not as straight forward as it should.
-Continue reading for the required steps on doing it.
-
-## Downloading files
-
-:ordered
-1. Open [url https://secure.skype.com/en/data-export secure.skype.com/en/data-export]
-
- .unordered
- - You could be asked to sign in.
- After signing in you'll need to *[open the link again]*, since you would be redirected to the wrong place.
-
-2. After opening the link you should be greeted by something like this.
- Check the two checkboxes next to =[Conversations]= and =[Files]= *[(pointed to by the red arrows)]*.
-
- [image ./img/initial-screen.png]
-
-3. Press =[Submit request]=.
- After being greeted by this screen, press =[Continue]=.
-
- [image ./img/export-prepared.png]
-
- .bulleted
- - You should now see an =[Available exports]= section near the top of the page.
- The status will be =[Pending]=.
- .p [image ./img/available-exports.png]
-
-5. Reload the page after a bit of time. When your export is ready, you'll find a =[Download]= button next to it, click it.
-
- [image ./img/download-button.png]
-
-
-Your export will be downloaded as a `[.tar]` archive file.
-You'll need an archiver utility to extract the files, something like [url https://www.rarlab.com/download.htm WinRAR] or [url https://www.7-zip.org/ 7-Zip] *[(I personally recommend 7-Zip, it is completely free (no need to worry about your [url https://youtu.be/fTgZRVVr3_Y infinite trial]) and works faster)]*.
-
-## Viewing your export - Official Tool
-
-:ordered
-1. Extract your archive
-
-2. Open the [url https://go.skype.com/skype-parser Skype Parser Download], which will prompt you to save `[skype-parser.zip]`
-
-3. Extract `[skype-parser.zip]`
-
-4. Inside the `[skype-parser]` folder, open `[index.html]` (it might be named just `[index]`). You'll be greeted by this page in your browser:
- [image ./img/default-skype-parser-index.png]
-
-5. Click the `[Choose File]` option and select the `[messages.json]` (it might be named just `[messages]`) file from your export.
- [image ./img/choose-file.png]
-
-6. Press the `[Load]` button right below, and you're done.
- On the left side you have your conversations, and when opening one, your messages will be displayed to the right (just like in Skype itself)
- [image ./img/archived-conversations-skype-default.png]
-
-
-There is only one issue with this method - the official tool is somewhat broken.
-Images and links are shown as formatting codes, but you can't actually look at them as you would in Skype itself.
-
-The fix is using an alternative to the official tool.
-
-## Viewing your export - ArtemVeremienko Fork
-
-[url https://github.com/ArtemVeremienko ArtemVeremienko] is a GitHub user that took the official parser and fixed it.
-Their source code can be found over at [url https://github.com/ArtemVeremienko/skype-parser github.com/ArtemVeremienko/skype-parser].
-
-:ordered
-1. Go to the [url https://github.com/ArtemVeremienko/skype-parser/releases/latest latest release of his skype-parser] and download `[skype-parser.zip]`
-
- [image ./img/github-skype-parser-download.png]
-
-2. Extract all of the files.
- They'll be in the same folder as the `[skype-parser.zip]` file, so find the `[index.html]` file and open it.
-
-3. Continue from step 5 onward of the [url #viewing-your-export-official-tool Viewing your export - Official Tool] section
