Oi. Okay… the e-mails have already started pouring in about the damned site redesign. First off, there are a few things I should mention. I realize not everyone has their resolution set to 1024×768. Most people have it higher. A scant 7% of viewers are set to 800×600 (and only 0.11% are 640×480). I’m sorry, but this means you’re going to have to scroll. Things are moving forward, and I can’t keep constricting myself to 800×600. I want the extra space. I NEEDS it.

Secondly, about the JavaScript menu. I realize a lot of you have JavaScript turned off. (I think you’re a bit paranoid, but that’s just me. :) ) Thus, while I will have a JavaScript menu, I will also have a text menu nestled behind it, for you guys. It’s a bit more work, because I’ll have those pages to update as well, but I want my site to at least be USABLE. :) Scrolling is doable… not being able to navigate isn’t. I would recommend however that anyone still using Internet Explorer, the beast of DOOM, switch to something a bit less leaky and full of security holes, like FireFox. The only reason I keep IE around anymore is for testing purposes, but since FireFox is faster, has a BUILT-IN popup blocker, and plugins you can install out the wazoo, I’d never go back. You won’t get so much spyware this way, too. :)

Also, i plan on testing the final site in a myriad of browsers, so worry not. It should look shiny on your computer. I’ve got the mock-up nearly finished… I’ll post a screenie soon. :)

Looking at the way I’ve designed the site, people who simply come to read the comic and the rants need not fear… the site is laid out such that the important stuff is on the left, and should be visible without having to scroll to the right. :)

Crap…

So…yeah. It’s monday. A fact which I realized not 20 minutes ago whilst in the shower. A fact which never once occurred to me this entire 3-day weekend. I was so caught up in weekend mode that I completely neglected that I had planned on doing a strip for today. :D Oh well… it’s, uh… a holiday. Yeah. That’s the ticket. :)

I’ve got some housecleaning to do, then I’ll get to work on tomorrow’s strip. Sorry for the mix-up. :) I really need to get ahead…random circumstances are claiming more comics than I had imagined they would…
