While another day goes down the drain
So that was a dang nuisance.
Those of you who read my comic every day probably noticed that the website hemorrhaged and collapsed last week. It was, to say the least, not cool. I don't know why, but ComicPress suddenly stopped working. I didn't install an update, I didn't make any changes, it just stopped working overnight. This was, at last count, the third or fourth Big Problem I've had with ComicPress, so I finally decided screw it, enough is enough.
I still think ComicPress is a pretty solid service, mind you. I just think I don't know quite enough PHP to use it right. So I reached the point where it was actually easier to make my own website from scratch than it was to constantly be wrestling with this software.
Which leads us back to "Dan is working full time, in grad school, and still trying to put a comic up five days a week." The website I put together is pretty bare bones, because I had about one solid night budgeted to make it. I'm hoping to fancy it up a little as time goes, but... well. Work. Grad school. Drawing. Yeah. At the very least, I'd like to get a blog on there, and come on, I've gotta be able to set the time aside to draw an unobtrusive background image of some kind. So we'll see how that goes.
In the meantime, updates have resumed, and are back on a Monday-Friday schedule. If you like all this effort, and the comics it produces, then hey, how about buying a book or something, right?
Eh? Sweet book? Yeah.
