May: I updated my comic more times this month than ever before.. (eight) I got linked by a few people, and my average visits went over 100. I got fanart, too! That made me happy. I put the meat of a storyline down, and I'll be finishing it in the coming weeks, and I posted some pretty funny gag strips, which has sort of set for me the way that my comic is going to be put together. (story strips and gag strips) I put my comic on some lists and a dropdown. I'm happy about my progress so far.

June: I'm really excited about June, and not just because it's my birthday. I'm planning on doing a lot of fan art, and I have a guest comic that's going to be posted on Zebra Girl sometime during the month. I'm REALLY excited about that. ^_^ I'm planning on trying to promote my comic a little more, and if I get up to 50 comics, I'll post it on voting sites. I'm also moving to a MWF update schedule instead of my old irregular MF schedule.

Only posted once in May.

Expect NO updates in June. I plan to make up for it in July though.

May: Station V3 turned two, had a guest week, and switched to color. Average month otherwise... growth is pretty much stagnant. I guess I should be happy the numbers didn't go down. :)

June: Continue to update daily, maybe change the site around a bit. Possibly run an ad somewhere different.

(And meanwhile, Z7 updated when it was supposed to, and will continue that way for June!)

You know, it just occurred to me that May was my sixth month doing Thespiphobia. :o Holy crap, I'm halfway to my first birthday and I didn't even notice!

That said, I checked my logs just now and it turns out I had more visits in May than I did in any other month. About a thousand, I think. :D W00t!

Edit: *goes back to check on the exact number* Whoa, it was 1493! Holy shit! Am I allowed to gloat now?

I managed to accumulate more than forty daily visits this month! I'm so proud...

I think I've peaked for the time being, so June looks to be a downward slope.

I'm kinda reaching the end of the hyperbola with my daily visits. March, I had 22 daily; April, I had 48 daily; I got 57 for May. I suspect it's gonna sprial downwards soon.

Of course, updating 4 times a month won't help things a tiny bit...(damn you Jade Empire!)

And yeah, looking forward to finally finishing the first chapter. *giggles*

May: Worried needlessly about a couple of missed updates. I was also granted a new messageboard on the Keenspace server.

June: Continue to try and keep regular updates. Hopefully will find the time to do a major site update. Also, get people to stop by and post on my new messageboard on the Keenspace server.

I did stuff in May. Uh... updated a couple of times. Got a lot of search strings. Really did a lot of stuff with the keenime dropdown.

In June I'm going to redo the keenelven dropdown, or possibly discontinue it. I have a feeling a lot of people have gotten rid of theirs. I'd like to add a lot more text to my site, and finally fix the menus. I don't think I'll have a sudden burst of traffic, but maybe I'll pimp the site if I manage to update steadily. Blank Label has a decent deal for webcomic artists for advertising... might be worth something.

I've been doing my best work as of late and have been sticking to my every three days shedule. I'm pleased with the month of May and myself.

I kinda stopped updating both my comics. Finals and getting before-school's-out-laziness. I'm back, though. Almost up to speed on OTC, with a brand new layout, and hopefully a set schedule for OTC because of the lazy grind. #neopets I have no hopes for, it was for fuck's sake but more of my friends read THAT than OTC. Sad, really.

I want cool search strings ;_;

May: Despite having no updates in May, I got 3 times the readership of any other month this year. Praise the wonders of Newsbox!

June: I might actually work on a storyline.

May was a LITTLE lower than the month before, which I attribute to the demise of Buzzcomix, where I was pretty active. Otherwise, not too bad. Can't complain.---Al
