Well, it's here...it's not anywhere near done, but it's here. My webcomic, is now on it's own webpage. Sure, it looks spartan...a little minimalist, but give me time. I thought it better to get it working first. Ok, I give you <a href='http://www.woodsforthetrees.com' target='_blank'>Woods For The Trees</a> Oh, and don't mind the banner, it'll be gone as soon as I fork out £20 for actual redirecting from my domain register...bloody rippoffs.

Thanks for all the kind comments guys <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ailwag.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tailwag.gif' /> The site seems to be working ok. I've got a few little changes I want to make, but I think it's fine for now. One thing though, I can't get the character's pics in the cast section to show. I've tried every trick from my very basic HTML book-of-knowledge, but it still don't show them. I've uploaded them to the server, and got the reference right... I did the same thing I did for the pic on the bio page, and the logo on the front page. Any web-savvies in?

Try putting a slash in front of the path, like you did with the logo, so that, for example, Jess' image would read "/images/jessfinished.jpg" instead of the current "images/jessfinished.jpg". That might work. Otherwise, it looks nice.

Hmm... it might be that they haven't been placed on the server yet, as I'm getting the following response:  <table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>CODE </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'>HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Date: Wed, 01 Mar 2006 04:56:36 GMT Server: Apache/2.0.55 (FreeBSD) PHP/4.4.0 Content-Length: 450 Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <html><head> <title>404 Not Found</title> </head><body> <h1>Not Found</h1> The requested URL /images/jessfinished.jpg was not found on this server.

well, putting a slash first would suggest the root. If the page is in a different directory (folder) from the images, you might need "../" to refer to the parent directory. Example: I have a page, "art/drawings.html", but the title image is "images/drawings-t.gif" so in order to refer to it from drawings.html, I have to type src="../images/drawings-t.gif"

If it's all set and stable I'll definately read it. Ya ought to get some pics for the nav links though, and center the comic and stuff as well. Get rid of the massive space on top so you don't have to keep scrolling down each page? The name of the individual comic should be the page heading rather than the comic name, that can just stay in the title. Good work so far.

Cool, I found a way to view it. though I had to shut off the firewall. Hehe, the first one is very "creative" <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /> .

How often should we expect a new strip? (I ask this every time i'm viewing a webcomic for the first time.)

I'm planning for a Monday + Friday update schedule, but it may be subject to change if I can get a rhythm going.
