Hello, Space Cadets!<P>I wasn't sure where to post this, so I'm putting it here. I added a new feature to the automatic updating scripts today. You can now have "Ghosted" navigation buttons. That means whenever a navigation button (eg: ***next_day*** doesn't lead anywhere (eg: the "Next Day" button on the last comic), you have the option of the ***tag*** returning nothing (the current implementation), or now you can have it return an unlinked image, instead.<P>As an example, look at the buttons on <A HREF="http://www.nukees.com/d/19970121.html" TARGET=_blank>my first comic page</A>. Notice that the first two are ghosted and unlinked.<P>To use this new feature, all you have to do is make new images and put "_ghosted" on the end of them, like first_day_ghosted.gif, next_day_ghosted.gif, etc...<P>I'd appreciate it if one of you could pass this information along to the Keenspace egroups list. Thanks.

That is a pretty cool feature. You should start working on a randomized Newsbox list next. People can have their newsbox in a directory on their server(like the Spot strips) and the tag can pull a random newsbox from one of the comics. Since it's randomized, anyone can get exposure. Using this, readership for comic strips could go up by 150%, depending on the quality of it, of course.

Yet another idea...<P>Something along the same lines as the Newsbox: just a little button that says "Random Keenspace Comic" that people can click on to read... a Random Keenspace Comic! I'd use it all the time, myself...<P>------------------

Absolutely. I find new keenspace comics daily that I become addicted to. I try to limit myself a bit though. Don't want to overdue it!

Okay, here's how you do the Secret Keenspace Cult Handshake: grab the other person's left thumb with your left thumb, twist it around until both thumbs are pointing down, and then get out a butcher knife and slit your throat.<P>------------------

Rick:<P>Now don't let's be silly. Ham is a weed, not a flower. Though it MAY be the missing evolutionary link between birds and dinosaurs... Velociraptor==>Archaeopteryx==>Ham==>Pelican<P>I think it works.
