<td bordercolor="#000000" bgcolor="#C7B299" class="Text"><p>As you can see
I'm just getting things together. I have actually put alot of thought
into this strip. Meaning, I and a few others, that I will soon name,
did things a bit differently this time, sorta backwards. Instead of
coming up with an idea for a comic and a hero. We came up with a whole
world and environment that we are still working on. There's different
peoples, clans, technology and landscapes. Although it's still Earth,
it's just Earth in about two thousand years after a massive meteor collision.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So after all that environment
building we decided to pick one person, a random character to be the
main hero and sometimes antihero. The storylines are created by Patrick
Williams a literary major and published poet. He also writes music reviews
at <span class="Links"><a href="http://www.feralnation.com/music/reviews/050604.asp" class="Links">Feral-Nation</a></span>.
He co-writes with me Chris. I'm not much of a writer but i'm a pretty
good artist. Oh and I can't forget Patrick Mcmanus, he and I actually
came up with the storyline. Alas, he is in the Air Force now and will
be heading over seas in Sept.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Style will be very
dark but using very vivid colors to contrast the darkness. It's a mixture
of clip art, photos and hand drawings. I hope it will work. Patrick
may even write some short stories taking place in the same world and
they will be on here to view as will maps and possibly family trees.
I hope you like it. if you do tell me. you can contact me through AIM
or <a href="mailto:%20csw_designs@yahoo.com" class="Links">email</a>.
Either way is good.<br>

:lol: Ok, that IS one way to get my attention.

Hmmm.... after comparng the your indextemplate and your index page source code, one thing I'm pretty sure of:


Your index page is being generated from a plain jane indextemplate (the original one that came with the site) and not the indextemplate here.

Things I need you to do:

1) Check that your current indextemplate is named indextemplate.html. The extension might be mispelled and it HAS to be html and NOT htm. Reupload it if you have to.
2) Make sure there is not an index.html in your workspace/webpages folder. Delete it if there is one.
3) Make sure you indextemplate.html is in /workspace. Just workspace, not workspace/webpages.
4) Also report what files you have inyour /public_html/comics folders. I'm curious why that image isn't showing up.

ehh... :roll:


"webpages/Extras.html" is incorrect.
It should be "/Extras.html"

Also, check the capitalization, it's case-sensive so Extras.html is a different file than extras.html


What do you mean by [2]?
If you want archive page just make archive.html
with <html><body>***advertisement***<hr />***big_calendar***</body></html>
If you want the archived pages remember to alter the dailytemplate.html.

And I'm not sure what you mean by [3], you seem to specify bordercolor to #000000 everywhere in your template.
<table width="75%" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" bordercolor="#000000">
BTW. bgcolor="c7b299" is incorrect. It should be bgcolor="#c7b299"

BTW, what is the purpose of this positioning:
<div id="Layer1" style="position:absolute; left:265px; top:9px; width:140px; height:6px; z-index:1">
Since the dimensions (width and height) make even less sence than left:265px, I assume it's some silly leftover from an old design. I think you should get rid of it.


Also, I noticed you have images used for next, previous ect. buttons.
You should use ***previous_day*** ***next_day*** ect tags instead.
Check the tagtorial in the FAQ.
You are the Non. You must go now, and never return."

"1.Scan in high res 2.tweak with curves,levels or something to clean up the scan (or use channel mixer to remove blue pencil lines) 3.Add colour using a layer set to multiply. 4.Add wordbubbles and text as vector shapes. 5. Merge all layers. 6.resize to the web size. 7. Export/Save for Web" that's all I know about webcomicking.

Yarpsdat answered the other two pretty well.

To remove the borders, just make sure the table borders are set to 0. I don't use Dreamweaver much, but I think they must have the option to set that somewhere in the tables menu option. Currently yours is unspecified, so the computer uses the default (which is 1)

:D Glad to see it working. You're welcome ;)
