I’m going to talk about designing this week, not coding per se, but designing: placement, colors, procedure. Today’s article I guess I would file under “procedure,” though I hate that term, because procedure sucks even when it has its purpose. The purpose of procedure today is to save you time and make your life easier.
When [...]

Continuing with my reviews of free webcomic hosts, today’s host of choice is Comic Dish.  I’m going to start out this review with a simple statement: this is the best free webcomic I’ve ever come across. And that’s somewhat depressing, considering I’d never really heard of it until it was brought up by Samantha of [...]

Continuing the previous thesis excerpt from Part III: Strengths of the Digital Medium. Please remember this is written for people who have NO IDEA what webcomics are, who makes them, or how comics in general can be considered a true art form.

If lack of recognition and recompense are major problems in the print industry, so [...]

As I finish up ComicDish’s review for next Monday, here is a short article for all those comic creators out there who double as webdesigners.  I’ve been building my own sites since I started my webcomic in 2004. I started with HTML, and this past year, moved to CSS. Anyone in that same transition having [...]

Dutch of School Spirit was the second of 5 brave volunteers willing to have me go through their site and critique it. Previously reviewed was Chirault, by Varethane.  A note, copied from the previous review: I don’t ever ever review in the form of “this sucks, change it to suit me, puny human!” I prefer [...]

Hi everyone, I wanted to apologize for the delay in articles. I caught some weird, nasty bug and have been sick this entire week.  The kind of “burning eyes hiss hiss” sick, where it sucks to look at computer screens. It got bad enough that those of you who follow me on Twitter probably read [...]

Hey guys! Within this past week three people have asked me about tutorials. Since I hate how most tutorials are organized myself, I never look at them, but I think that also sets me up to MAKE one I think would be more helpful to readers here.  The few tutorials I’ve found and liked have [...]

The War of Winds is finally coming back from a 5-week hiatus this Monday. About time! I’m going to write an article about hiatuses if I can remember to, on how to go about it and when to do it. My theories on the whole thing are QUITE different than what I read in forums. [...]

What is wrong with you? (I don’t really mean that, I promise!)
Everyone out there who has a wordpress blog (with comicpress, inkblot or slideshow), you need to realize something right now: WP is SET-UP to get you search referrals, to have multiple types of archives, and to easily navigate your posts/pages.  It does this through [...]

This is one of those articles that I right for pure thought. I really want you to think about I’m going to say, and the implications involved for the future of this art form (webcomics) we all enjoy.
Here is a common question, one you may have asked before: “I make webcomics. So what am I? [...]
