Well, you know how the tagtorials sais to download the template for the index, to change it to the way you want, and then upload it? I uploaded it and deleted the other one but it isn't updating. (I did this is workspace) I also uploaded the first comic in the workspace comics thingy, under the name "page1" and it hasn't shown up.

You have to name your comics "xYYYYMMDDx.ext", where "x" is whatever you want (or nothing), "YYYYMMDD" is the date you want the comic to go up, and "ext" is the file extension of the comic (jpg, gif, png, or html).
As for the index, are you sure you named it "indextemplate.html"? If you upload it as "index.html" it won't work.

I am mightily disturbed by the phrase "and deleted the other one." Hopefully nothing has been deleted accidentally.<P>Do yuorself a favor and use the dated system -- the alternative is to manually put your comic ont he page, then at next update manually replace it with the new one, manually post the old one on its own page, manually change all links to reflect the new sturcture. The only real reason to do that is if you already have an archive from another site and you want to be able to just copy the whole thing over. Even then, I'd recommend using the automated system, though. It makes life much simpler.<P>------------------
