Still working on that review of the CMS iStrip! Those things take me forever, so here’s something shorter, more a warm-up, in the meantime.
Webcomickers like myself are always looking for new, lazy ways to increase visits to their site. Well, here’s a couple you ought to check out if you haven’t already!

Three Free Opportunities for More Site Visits
Twitter as a Means of Webcomic Networking
I’ve been meaning to write this article for quite sometime. Those of you who, uh, follow ME on Twitter know that I was accepted into grad school, Roswell Park in Buffalo (part of the SUNY system) for Interdisciplinary Biology. I have been busy. I apologize for the lack of articles.
But getting back to business, and [...]
Why and How the Webcomic Community Could Seriously RAWK.
A couple months back, folks on TWCL banded together to bring more attention to this absolutely loverly webcomic Galaxion, by Tara Tallan!

Webcomic Networking on Deviant Art
In the desire to spread the word about my comic, I have been experimenting with various ways to network in the hope that 1) it would be successful and 2) I could share the results with you.
Here is the result of my first networking attempt, using Deviant Art as a means of free advertising through [...]
Vote Incentives and Toplists: Worth the Trouble?
On the SpiderForest forums, one member asked if signing up on webcomic toplists and coming up with vote incentives was worth it. By worth it, I mean “does the effort bring enough readers to make up for the time spent?” The short answer is most definitely YES.
