Archiving and Commentary

What I'm attempting is commentary: Once a comic has become archived, I want to be able to write something on its page. That is, I want to write commentary that shows up below old comics. I've been trying to find a way to do this. I tried adding the text directly to the old HTML pages, and that works - for a few seconds. But then the pages become automatically refreshed, or something, and the text disappears.

I'd like to be able to keep this commentary on old comics, but the automatic refreshing and archiving system seems to thwart me. How can I do this?

this is fairly simple. You just need to create a text file with the same name as the image. Say you have 20040522.jpg as your image. Name the file 20040522.txt. Insert your text and it will remain with the comic for as long as your site exists.

Also, you can include any number of files like this, images as well as text. They appear on the page alphabetically.

Example:
20040522a.txt -- text appears above the comic
20040522b.jpg -- comic
20040522c.txt -- text appears below the comic.
20040522d.gif -- another image.

I had a feeling I was missing something obvious. Fantastic! Thank you very much.
