Hello there, Comicpress

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

This is actually my 3rd post on the new ETD Comicpress engine.  I was playing around with the Graphic Novel config and ended up creating shadow posts of all my webcomic pages.  So I pretty much nuked everything and restarted.  Uh-huh, yeah. :)

More still has to be done…

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

But all the pages are operational, least as far as I know.  Anyone heading over from the old ComicGenesis site, feel free to register if you want to post comment on the comics or the blog. I’m gonna do the cast page next and see if I can include the old shoutbox on the site, or at least find a reasonable substitute.

Suggestion for New ETD Site Thread

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

Anyone heading over from my old Comicgenesis site, please register and post suggestions or recommendations for the new website, apart from the empty links and the “Pimptalk” placeholder! ^^; Send me an email if you have any problems.

UPDATE: If you want an avatar for your comments, after you’re done with registration, head over to gravatar and upload a universal avatar.  Follow all the instructions, wait a few minutes then reload the comments. All should be good.

UPDATE 2: Your initial comment will require approval, but afterwards, it looks like all posts after show up after you’re verified by my blog as a subscriber.

UPDATE 3: New subscribers registering comments for the first time here will see a slight delay in comment approval as I’m the sole admin around here and I’m attending a con in Boston, so I’ll have limited access to the net.  I’ve toned down the background colors a bit, but any complaints about it can be directed to this thread, though it might take a while for direct responses. And special thanks to everyone who’s taken the effort to register on the new blog and set up their avatars. :)

Just came back from the con!

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

I’m back!!! Reportback coming soon. I’m pretty beat. All in all, it was my first con where I was there as an invited guest and panelist.  There was plenty good and educational, but so much more that turned out to be shocking and pretty terrifying. More coming soon.

On the agenda!

Monday, November 24th, 2008

Apologies for being away for several days. I really should invest in a laptop.  Anyways, I just finished catching up on the suggestions thread and here’s what’s on my agenda so far.

  • Wednesday’s update, first and foremost of course.
  • Writing up a detailed reportback on the con.
  • Finalizing a much better banner and background.
  • Setting up a forum, store, and archive page (many thanks to Frumph!)
  • Setting up the new ETD book and related merchandise.
  • Actually getting around to doing free wallpapers of all our major characters
  • Getting up the character descriptions on the cast page
  • The About page needs stuff
  • The comic navigation needs work too.
  • Phase out the old Comicgenesis site. (end of an era…)

Any more things I might’ve missed, feel free to post a comment and yes, I do read, consider, and value everything submitted, even if I can’t quickly respond due to obligations. Many thanks to everyone for their patience and understanding as we enter this new stage in ETD’s life. :D
