If I want to place a body of text somewhere on my main page that only appears for a day comic and gets replaced by a new rant the next time the comic updates, how do I do that? I've nearly got it all figured out except how to add that paragraph of shpeel that appears along with the comic updates. My comic is at <a href="http://noneedforbushido.keenspace.com">No Need For Bushido</a>

Depends if you want it to be updateable live.
If you want it to be updated live, use something like blogger or livejournal and then have an iframe in indextemplate.html that points to the rant page. This will let you edit your blogger or livejournal, or even just a plain html page anytime you want without having to hit "update index.html" if you change something in the site maintenance utilties.
If you are only going to create your rant ahead of time, you need to simply make a text file for that day with the same YYYYMMDD number as the comic it goes with and most people tack on a z to the number so it appears at the end and not before the comics. In this case the file should be called something like 20020417z.txt and not have a leading <html><body> and footing </body></html> tags. The text file goes in the comics directory under workspace.
