Website update

The past few days I’ve been working on upgrading this site to the newest version of the excellent Webcomic plugin for WordPress.

I made only a few changes to the overall design, so it might hardly be noticeable, but the internal workings changed quite a bit and it was worth it just for that.
I always hear horror stories about users of other webcomic plugins that shall not be named *cough* comicpress *cough*, dreading to update their WordPress installations out of fear of horribly breaking everything. This is problematic because these WordPress updates often contain important security patches to fix vulnerabilities.

For years now I didn’t have a single issue when updating WordPress with this plugin, so I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to make their own webcomic site.

I guess the bad news is that while I’ve been working on this, I didn’t have much time to work on a new comic page.
You’ll have to deal with a few more days of dreadful uncertainty.

Aw fuck owww!

The wrist pain still persisted, so I went to my doctor who didn’t even look at my hand and seemed to know exactly what to do.
He just grabbed my right thumb and pulled on it so hard as to almost rip it off,
“AAAA HOLY SHIT!”
“There, all better,” he proclaimed.
“Are you sure about that? Because I don’t-” “No no no, you’re FINE!”

It turns out I wasn’t fine, but just in case he didn’t magically fix me somehow, he referred me to a hand surgeon… which I haven’t been to yet.
I thought I’d just let my hand rest for a while and I almost felt ready to go back to drawing,
if it wasn’t for my goddamn cat.
I was just playing with him earlier when he got startled by a window slamming shut, that’s when he hacked me in the base of my thumb. Rarely did I see so much blood coming out of my body except in the hospital, might have something to do with the blood thinners I’m using.
Not five seconds after the cat mauled my hand he was back to happily licking his balls, while I was lying there in pain.

Anyway, I guess I’m taking a few more days off, sorry.

Quick question!

Should I just put the latest comic on the front page?

I kinda like the way it is now, but it always takes one extra click to get to the actual comic and it seems like only half of the people arriving on the site are actually willing to do that?

It’s this way mostly to avoid spoiling new readers, nothing spoilerific going on right now mind you, but this story will take some twists and turns along the road.
Maybe I’m just a little too afraid of the whole spoiler business though, someone might be inclined to read more if they arrive at a particularly interesting time, wondering what lead up to these events?

Ah, I don’t know… Help me out here guys, what would you prefer?

Before I forget, if I do put the comic on the front-page, I’ll probably shrink the banner down too. Having to scroll a lot to read the comic also sucks after all.
