My Greatest Strength, My Greatest Weakness

Though there are tremendous benefits to being an independent web cartoonist, there are some hidden dangers.

Phil Hofer is the guy who currently maintains Comicpress. He’s got a new comic CMS plugin called Comic Easel which works extremely well and is a little more intuitive than Comicpress. If you haven’t built your comic site yet, I highly recommend checking out Easel. You can find him at http://frumph.net/

    Have you messed with comic easel yet? I haven’t

    I help Kelsey with http://doctorkawaii.com and I use it there. It’s really intuitive and easy to figure out. And you don’t have to use a specific naming scheme for comics which is sort of a blessing and a curse.

    Cool. I would like to try it out when I can pull my other comics projects from the chasm of hiatus.

    It always amazes me how much work is done on the back end when you go into web comics.. I am really supprised with how much work you guys don’t creat comic alliances to share resorces like a web designer… After all if you hire a web designer that is good, you should pass around his name to other web comic artists to help out..

    Something else that vanished with the upgrade was the comic previews in the RSS feed. I didn’t actually read the comics there since the resolution was lower, but it made it obvious when a post was a comic vs. just a blog post.

    Thanks for the heads up. I found a fix for that, but I’ve got to wait until I get off from work to implement it.
