Help Wanted: Webcomic maybe

GuyWithBigKnife · **Posted:** Tue Feb 01, 2005 2:22 am

Haldo!
I am in need of some help, for you see, I am an aspiring web comic drawer-guy. Back in '99, my friend and I invented a couple of characters called "Sticky and Allen" to use for school projects. Since then, we've been making comics of it, and recently it struck me: "We should put this online!" The only problem is, I know nothing about web design. All I'm good at is the art and writing and whatnot. So, as you can guess, we need a little help putting this all together. We would really appreciate it if you'd help us out. There's grumblecakes in store for you! We were also possibly considering a flash cartoon similar to Homestar, but we really haven't put much thought into that yet.
Thanks for your time.

Do you have a scanner?

I sure do.

Well then I would suggest scanning them into your computer and uploading them to the porplemontage.com wiki where you can create a section for your comics. I would suggest a free web host, but it would be a hassle for you if you don't have any web design experience.

Alright thanks. I created a page, but it's not showing up on the main page.

<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
<style type="text/css">
p, h1 {
font: eurostile;
font-weight: bold;
}
p {font-size: 16pt;}
h1 {font-size: 28pt;}
</style>
</head>
<body bgcolor="sky blue">
<h1>Heading...</p>
<img src="comic.gif" height="[height]" width="[width]">
<p>Text...</p>
</body>
</html>

Just start like that or something (replace red). To make a link, use <a href="page url>Link text</a>

Go to the Categories Template and add a link to your page under "Cartoons and Comics". Also, it would probably look nicer if you created a page for each comic and character, rather than linking to an image.

And he's not working with HTML, edsmilde.

Alright thanks for helping me get set up! I have all the character pages up now, but I need to scan a few more things and work on a couple of comics.
