Archive problem.

For some reason, the "next" comic tag goes directly to the homepage and the other comics put into the archives show up as 404 even though they are in the public file. What gives?

Your dailytemplate.html is edited correctly and only sitting in /workspace/ right?It could be that your images are so large ( in file size ) that the browsers can't handle more than one. I suggest that' if you're using photoshop, you read Psiogens' <a href=http://spork.keenspace.com/tutorial.html>scanning tutorial</a>. Even if you're not there are a few thing you can do to improve both your image quality and reduce the load on the server.Get a couple of different pencils ( and/or pens ) lightly sketch out your inital drawing and then go over it with something heavier.
Scan in black/white, at the highest resolution your system can handle.
Convert to grayscale, clean up any noise and mistakes with your favourite paint program, and then shrink your images down to size. The web only supports 72 ( 75? ) dpi images, anything higher getting blown up. ( ie: a 150dpi image will appear twice as big on your site, than it would in your paint program ).
If you don't have a desent paint program like <a href=http://www.gimp.org>GIMP</a>, Photoshop, or Paintshop Pro, try shrinking/converting/saving/ your images with the likes of <a href=http://www.xnview.com>XN View</a>.
When you save your images, I recomend you set the colors to 256 greyscale, and save as PNG, or at least use a quality level of less than 100% in your jpg's.
Idealy your comics should sit around the 70-80k mark, and be less than 780 pix wide.------------------

Oh, maybe it's because I erased my dailytemplate.html I already know how to make the files smaller, Im just forgot to edit that one's size. Thanks a lot.
