a quick question......can the image be saved in (.ai) format? or does it have to be jpg, gif, or pdf?

Far as I know, you can only use jpg, gif, and/or png images.

Also .swf (Flash files), but I'm pretty sure that's it.

No. If you are using Adobe Illustrator, try saving it as a SWF or a SVG file of you want to save the vector scalablity of it, otherwise export it as a png file.

Oh and Adobe is known for saving bloated png files, if you want to try later you can use pngcrush or the like to shrink it losslessly further, otherwise just save it as a Jpeg at the compression level you feel comfortable with.

thanks for the help. now a new question. i am on central time, but last night i triggered a regular manual update for my comic and if i click the link and enter my book name like it says in the tutorial i can see the update to my site. If i go straight to my site however, the update does not appear. is it the fact that im waiting on CG to update or have i screwed up?
