Club Mascot
During my week off I’ve been making some small additions to the site, including share buttons for social media (please use them!) and bringing back the now fixed TWC button (please use that, too!).
They aren’t quite where I had wanted them and the site isn’t exactly what I want, but it’s what WordPress is currently letting me do. It may not be the prettiest, but hey, it’s functional!
Congrats on the new features.
I don’t do social media, but you’ve got my daily vote for TWC.
Incidentally, I’d suggest moving the vote button up higher so visitors don’t need to scroll down to see it. A lot of folks don’t make a habit of scrolling down to read the comments and thus might not see it where it is now (or just be too lazy/forgetful to scroll down every time they visit).
Yeah, I think you’re right. I was trying to avoid pushing down the links to my other projects, but considering those are sporadic (and terrible!) it’s better to focus on what helps this comic… especially since it’s my main focus.
Consider it changed!
Mini-rant coming, because who knows when I’ll ever get a chance to complain: I will say, as much as I love using WordPress compared to making the site myself with my limited and shoddy HTML skills, it’s been a little frustrating at times. I see some absolutely beautiful sites made with WordPress but I’ve found it won’t implement some of the changes I try to make.
And I keep running into problems with plugins. I’ve tried adding in random avatars but that didn’t work; I tried changing the comments section over to Disqus but I discovered it wouldn’t even LET people post comments; I tried three different plugins for the sharing buttons but ultimately had to find a site that generated HTML code to get that to work.
I feel like it must be me and I’m just not doing something right, but man I cannot seem to get cool stuff that make things better to work on this site. Some of what you see were choices I settled on because they at least worked as opposed to being broken.
Rant away. I’m sure that every person who’s ever sat in front of a keyboard sympathizes with technology frustration. I certainly do. I’m trying to learn command line tools right now and getting the hang of doing packet analysis with gawk feels like beating my way through a brick wall with my head.
If it’s any consolation, your artistic skills and web site design skills both exceed mine by a wide margin, so no complaints here.
