I know, I KNOW! ;_;

I am so sorry! I know there is supposed to be a new comic up finally today, and I really tried to finish it, but Monday morning when I called my Doctor's office to make an appointment, they scheduled me to come in for Tuesday morning and I have to be there at 7am. (It was either that or wait forever for the appointment.)I should already be asleep now, in fact, but I was trying to finish the comic. Unfortunately I can tell that this is going to take me much longer to get done, so I will have to push it back to Thursday ;_; But please be sure to check it on Thursday!

I am sure everyone is really tired of the Strange English, and I hear ya! I promise the new comic will be up on Thursday! As for site maintenance, so far I have switched the links page and characters page to the new design, along with the archives and main index page. Next up will be the gallery!

As for this Strange English... I think that IS what he is saying when he sees Ho-chan in that bikini. *cough*

Strange English, Strange Website

Yeah, I know, ANOTHER Strange English installment. I am really sorry this site redesign has taken so long. Just when I think I have things working okay, I discover something else is broken @_@. And then fixing that breaks something else! (or when I get it nice in Ffirefox, it suddenly breaks in IE or vice versa) I think I am finally getting close to the finish line though! The archives are still funky (hopefully the dropdown will work again shortly...), and I still need to update the static pages (gallery, links, characters, etc) and add the other sections I wanted to add. And I'm also trying to tighten up the area on the front page where the link buttons are and find a spot for the usual 'vote for OO!' buttons. Maybe I will make the comic title smaller and stick them on either side. Hmm.

Man, I still haven't even managed to work on some new designs for black cafepress shirts... those black shirts just cry out for some Evil Minion or Teneko designs @_@ I have a Nyarrr logo that I always thought would look nice on black too ^_^

I have been so busy with the holiday week and the site design and baking cookies (I think I may permanently smell like gingerbread now) that it will be nice to sit down and draw again! ^_^

Emi Rant Test

Now I am experimenting with using Blogger for the rantspace area. This might be easier, but the iframes are annoying. Please stand by while the site looks really messed up and pages are missing...

I am STILL still experimenting with my redesign of the site layout. It is all in CSS/xhtml and doesn't use any tables. I am still learning CSS, so this is all an adventure for me ^_^

The site will look really funky and probably change a lot over the course of the day today, as I figure out how to get my layout to work with keenspace's autokeen tags. Took me a little while to get that stupid advertisement banner to line up properly @_@ I will continue to try things, update the site to see the changes, then fix my mistakes, so please bear with me if everything looks broken to you.

I still haven't adapted the layout style change to the archive pages or the other pages on the site, so those will still look like a broken version of the old layout with some mismatched images from the new layout thrown in. Once I have a finalized version of the front page, which should be this evening, I will adapt it for the archive pages and the static pages (characters, links, gallery, etc)

As for the rants, keenspace doesn't really have a nice rant tag that you can use, so I am sort of experimenting with other ways to do this. You can make a text file that is named after that day's comic and use it for rants, but it sticks the text directly under the comic image, which would look really ugly in the design. So I am working on having the text files contain the CSS and xhtml to stick the text where it should be. This is fun!

I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!
