Okies...I have access to FTP, and I'm still a little confused as to how it runs. So far, I've uploaded comic pages and html pages alike, editted them, blah blah.
question 1: How do you link to pictures you've uploaded on FTP? The codes I'm using aren't working, but they work for pictures that I've uploaded elsewhere on the Internet.
question 2: If I wanted to change what my index.html page looked like, would I do the editting in the workspace section, or the public section of FTP?
question 3: How do you make the "Back", "Forward" etc. buttons beneath the webcomic into images?
Where to update?

All this will actually be covered for you very well in the <a href = "http://cgwiki.comicgenesis.com/index.ph ... torials</a> ^_^
In general:
1. You need to load all images in the images folder, and preface all the links with "../" in order to have them load on all internal pages.
2. Never ever touch the public section ever*. Use the workspaces version.
3. The tags listed in the tutorial. They're also in the index and daily template files.
*There's one or two reasons to touch it, but nothing that you're doing right now.

Ah...for the images question, could you give me an example?
For instance, if I uploaded a picture called 'blargh.jpg' and I wanted it to show up on one of my pages, would the code be:
../www.comicgenesis.com/leperdoctor/blargh.jpg
?
(And I've looked through the tutorials several times- they don't have the answers to the questions I have, otherwise I wouldn't be posting here <.<)

No, it'd be http://leperdoctor.comicgenesis.com/images/blargh.jpg . You can also shorten it to /images/blargh.jpg .
Basically, when you need the URL to something, look at where it is in your workspace folder. Then, copy the path to the item on your page.
Example: you want to link to blabla.jpg. blabla.jpg is in a folder called "other" that you put in the folder "images". So to get to it, you have to open "images", then "other", then blabla.jpg. So the URL to put on your page would be /images/other/blabla.jpg .
