Can someone put something in Autokeen so that it will find the ***todays_comic*** tag on a page other than the daily templates?

The ***todays_comics*** tag will show the current comic on any page, not just indextemplate. If you make an index2.html and put that tag on there it will work the same as on the indextemplate.(It is my recomendation, tho, that you put your comic on your main page. Entry pages are a bit annoying to returning readers.)------------------

I am still only getting ***todays_comic*** when I view index2.html, and it is in the data folder where it should be... Is there something I am doing wrong? The other tags are showing what they are supposed to.Check it out if you wish... ^_^ and thanx agian for all of your great help Keenspace! <A HREF="http://tiger.keenspace.com" TARGET=_blank>http://tiger.keenspace.com</A> (or tiger-online.com)------------------

I would like to have my index.html file a picture link into my site. (http://tiger.keenspace.com for example) I would like to make my daily comic seen on index2.html, is there any way to change it so that the templates use index2.html instead of index.html. The other reason I ask is I am wondering if it is possible to point the ***last_day*** tag to index2 instead of index...Is this possible?

But the ***last_comic*** tag can simply be bypassed. Unlike, say, ***next_comic***, it never changes from day to day, so you can just replace it with an html link to index2.html. The trouble, I think, would be that Autokeen doesn't understand the ***todays_comic*** tag when its put on a page other than the index and daily templates.------------------

It's quite pathetic, i know.. but i've been meaning to ask, what proggy do you guys use to view/edit the index.html file?
