CMcL

Earlier this week I made a few changes to the site, hopefully they’re for the better. The sidebar was getting ridiculously overlong, so I changed the layout to three columns (and yes, added another ad, hopefully it’s not too distracting, but the spare change I earn from those things is very helpful to me). I removed the background image, even though I always liked that picture, because I felt like it was competing with the comic photos. I just added a search form, in case there was a particular conversation or story you wanted to find but can’t figure it out from the tags or the archives. I’m also going back and gradually adding transcripts to all the old conversations so you can search by the text in the image as well as my little blurbs.

If any of this stuff doesn’t work or the pages look broken in some way, pretty please with sugar and a cherry on top let me know? Thanks!

Every so often I add a handful of my favorite sites to the Links page. If you haven’t stopped by lately, there are a bunch of comics there you might not have seen before. Check ‘em out. They’ve got the “C” of approval. (Greyduck‘s punnitis is contagious.)

Real life has kind of been beating me up lately (nothing bad, just a lot of work and “Hey C, help me fix my computer” things), and I haven’t been able to get done all the creativeland things I’ve wanted to do. I had intended to provide a guest comic for a friend whose site (which I love) had to go on a brief hiatus for personal reasons, but there was all this Stuff going on and I wasn’t able to do it and I still feel crummy about it, gah. But I did manage to throw together a couple of guest comics for another one of my favorite sites, Singing Telegram, which features haiku paired with photos and drawings. My contributions can be seen here and here. Check out the rest of the site while the creator is off working on his thesis — it’s a very nice little bit of quirkiness.
