The basics on updating comics

Post by JDogindy »

Hello.

For those who wonder about me, I was told about this site by a friend and I would like to post my comic here. I actually have a comic up with a page.

The problem is that I've been unable to upload any more pages. I will admit that I don't quite understand the whole process (I know how to upload, I just don't understand why they don't show up). I do have my filenames different for pages, (img004.png was the first page, then I had imag005.png, followed by img006.png, which I want to upload). Is it because that, when I set my update time, it won't actually update until then? Forgive me if I sound nonsensical, but I just don't know the full gist, yet I would like to host my comic here.

The full comic in progress, right now, is over at my deviantART site, just so you know.

Hi JDogindy,

You have to name the files as the date you want them to appear on the site, in a YYYYMMDD format. So, for example, a comic page being posted today would be named "20120511.png." If you want a page to appear sometime later, like next Friday, you can name it for that date, like "20120518.png," and it'll be posted then.

Well, thank you.

I apoligize for not having replied sooner, but I'll keep it in mind.
