Well, before you *apply*, all you really need to know is the name. Once you apply, you'll probably have a few weeks to get your site ready.
It definitely helps if you have a clear direction before you start. But you sound like an abnormally well-prepared sort of person. I'm sure you'll do fine. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/wink.gif">
As for picture formats, it depends. GIF or PNG (8 bits) is probably best if you use simple, flat colors. If you do a shaded color comic, use JPGs. For pure black and white, I use GIF/PNG reduced to the 6 web-safe greys.<P>------------------

Getting Started
Ok, let's pretend I have a comic I want to put up on KeenSpace. (Which is true.) What should I have ready before I start applying to KeenSpace? Judging from previous posts here, there and everywhere else, I need:<P>A Comic (it's been suggested that 2 months' worth of material ahead of time is a good idea)<P>A decent FTP program (No one seems to like the web-browser ones)<P>The time and inclination to keep at it<P>I /have/ to think I'm missing a few things, here, but I'm not even sure what to ask. Should I put together a web page before I apply? What picture formats work the best? The date sequencing thing seems simple enough, but how could one test it before "going live", so to speak? What other questions should I ask? ^_^<P>Dave III, The Curious Guy
