Beautiful.

I've tried out your puzzles, they're very good. I may try my hand at making my own, although I think it's more complicated than it looks. Any suggestions or tips, Cobra?

one suggestion: if a puzzle has more than one solution (like if the opponent has 2 moves), show the mate in both situations (or write it in a moves list thing)

BadGambit
In most of the puzzles above I've done exactly that. Take a look at the move list for them, you will find alternative mates in the notation (within brackets).
