Good afternoon everyone!!! I hope you all had a great summer!
Im so proud of how this site has been coming along. It's far from complete enough, but I feel like it's soooooo much more polished compared to how this dump has looked for a majority of its life.
Lemme go over some things I was working on previously...
Art Pages
so far I have completed the border decorations for the thumbnails of the art pages. Ive gotten into the swing of uploading my latest artwork on there. Unfortunately I have NOT started drawing the new menu icons, nor have I uploaded my full portfolio. I might actually consider redoing the old ones AGAIN, because i've been focusing on compressing the size of my site pages for smaller resolutions. As for the old artwork, I need to sort through my files and export all my drawings, as I don't trust all the pngs of my old art to not have shitty compression.
Comics
I have managed to make 3 comic strips this summer! HELL YEA!!!
Sounds like nothing but i am not the best with scheduling. I only started doing a daily alternating "art to site to art to site" schedule this summer. I had to put that all down in order to pre-study for my classes... or at least try to.
I made a basic temporary page for all my comic strips. Im not sure if i'll have all the strips be on their own page or have them all be in one. Maybe ill put the strips in groups of 5. The format im using is subject to change and I might do 4 panel strips sometimes
Etc
Some of these either go all the way back to Site Update Log no#1 but I forgot to provide progress on, or is just stuff I never mentioned.
Like I said before ive been working on making the site thinner, to about 760 px width on the front page if I can. This does NOT mean that I am designing this page for 800x600 screens. All im doing is making it less claustrophobic for 1024x768 screens.
I have added an about me page!!! It's a bit of a wip rn, but the one about myself is mostly complete. I wanna later make it so the about me button goes to a page with 2 different links; One to read about me and one to read about my webcomic.
The guestbook is currently closed right now, as working with the css of html comment box is an absolute jungle to navgate. I've been unable to get it to look the way I want so I may consider abanodning html comment box in favour of the comment section from widget star. It's a shame that it doesn't have an image upload feature, but neither do most guestbooks. At least the new one has custom emojis I think.
I've added rss feeds for both my art and my comics. Im not exactly sure what else to write about rss feeds here.
Lastly, I have joined a few webrings! This place is really starting to feel like home because of them!
Well thats all I have to say. My semester starts very soon so progress will slow down again. Have a good day everyone!
