Obviously, new site design. Please comment below

More stuff coming, but I’m fighting with it. It flat-out isn’t working as designed.

In other news, a) we have a comic queue again for about a week and b) most of them are not proper comics. But they mostly made Nighthawk giggle, so I don’t think they’re horrible. I’m STILL battling the elevator scene and I’m really tempted to just have the whole damn hospital collapse and kill the main characters, thus getting me out of their story thread altogether, but that feels like cheating. Not that “life is odd” strips aren’t cheating… but at least they’re real.

Babble away, friends!

Ran some software updates over the weekend. We’re now on the latest Wordpress. I also fixed the comment preview box (and stuck it above the comment entry box so you can actually see it while you’re typing) fixed the problem where my server had stopped emailing people, turned Subscribe to Comments back on, updated the comment editor, and generally cleaned things up.

I also got about halfway through fixing the Navigate by Category plug-in with significant help from Nighthawk (thank you!) on the SQL.

I downloaded a forum that’s Wordpress-based with the vague general intention of integrating it to handle our comments instead of using the article-stype comments, but downloading is as far as I got.

Feel free to babble below!

Babble thread!

With the recent update to Wordpress 2.3, I upgraded the edit comments plugin. As I’m an admin, it worked for me all the time anyway. Could someone please check to make sure it’s working now? Feel free to use this as our babble thread as well!

Just thought I’d take a second to point out that after weeks of ads costing a whole two to three cents a day, you can currently get totally free advertising on my site via Project Wonderful… can’t beat free….

Speaking of which, among babble topics (which you are welcome to choose any topic to babble about) can y’all comment on what you think of the ads?

In the meantime, National Novel Writing Month has begun, and I’m already almost two days behind in volume, having a scant 2000 words to my credit.

On the other hand, procrastination on the novel front is leading to less procrastination on the comic front. They’re not high quality (at the moment, anyway, as the procrastination gets worse they’re likely to get quite complex) but at least I’m ahead on the buffer for the first time in a while.

This is a really freakin’ long day for me and I’m tired and annoyed. Please stop by and say hi - it’ll cheer me up.
