Yes indeed, today is the day I try to update the site and make it so that it works better with the new update schedule and format.
Yesterday I spent most of my time trying to figure out Comicpress, but as it turns out when I upgraded it I found out that the new version (2.9) is really friendly when it comes to customization. It’s almost as if the people that make it realized that nobody wants to leave it looking as it comes. The earlier one, on the other hand… well… not so much.
In any case, the site will probably be very unstable today, look like crap one second, not work the next, display database errors half the time and finally look like something that might work. Then I’ll finally go into meltdown mode and bug my friend Vlad through constant IMs until he fixes it, all the time making comments about how it’s really not all that complicated.
Hopefully I’ll be done by noon.
Haha. Good luck!
Haha, I was doing the exact same thing a little while ago – I’m glad to see I’m not the only one
doing website design by the trial and error procedure.
I’m quite impressed with those guys who made and maintain comicpress. I can’t think of any other
wordpress theme or plugin that is so easily manipulable as comicpress – even with a very
limited knowledge of CSS and internet design, the entire process of awesoming your website
is pretty painless… well, if you don’t mess up too much that is. DId that on more than one occation!
I miss the comic on the front page already. Two clicks to see the newest work of art?
Heya, just thought you might want to know that your feed is broken now.

Why do some comments disappear? They are purposely deleted or accidentally?
@AngryPotato: Oh no, I make a point of NEVER deleting comments. They can be negative, criticism or anything you want and they won’t be deleted. After all, if I only wanted people to say good things then maybe I shouldn’t enable comments.
That being said, I do seem to have a very draconian spam filter, so sometimes a comment may get caught up in there and I’ll overlook it – and some other times I might delete all the spam and some legitimate comments might get deleted there by accidents.
Other times it’s just difficult to tell if something’s spam or if it’s legit. I swear, those spammers are getting trickier every day.
Oh, ok then. I’m sorry, I didn’t want to suggest you might delete criticism, I just didn’t know what was happening (and my comments are rarely negative). Perhaps spam filters don’t like my name, I think it happened on other website too…
Anyway, I just wanted to say that RSS feed doesn’t work, it was before ConstantVariable23 posted, so now my comment isn’t useful anymore.
