Comic uploader is working fine. I have changed the front page so that it will also upload with the same comics at the same time as the rest of the archive, minus the list of previous comics that the archive will be providing. This is good because as of this moment, I'm under doctors orders to restrict the amount of computer time I use. I'm also under orders not to do any art. Hopefully, by the time I've run out of comics, the restriction will lift.
Despite this, there will be art uploading regularly with this new loader till about midmay. I hope people enjoy it...

Okay, so we're three 'comics' in to the new incarnation of the Bards Comic. I know that things have been slow. That's because I have been desperately trying to get a new comic engine up on the site. Sadly, the site can't support some of the stuff I wanted the engine to do...and I had a really difficult time understanding the javascript I was given to get it to do what I NEEDED it to do.
But well, here we are - its up, a little clunky in only one place I can see, but I think we can deal with that. the engine means that you will no longer have to wait on me to update the comic! I think it's a good trade off.
A few things of note - the index page is still operating off of the "latest.jpg" comic, and is operating seperately from the Engine itself. (this is because there are people who are still accessing that image, like Marc, who is promoting the comic directly). THIS MEANS that it may not update on time, or at the same time as the rest of the system. I apologize in advance.
I'm still testing out this system, so I may change it to include the main page at a later point in time. But even if I do, the 'latest.jpg' will remain in the system for people such as Marc.
Lastly, my arm is feeling better, and I have a bunch of comics lined up. Todays comic is the last 'filler' piece we have for a while. Though I suppose that may be up for debate when the next few strips air. Please let me know what you're thinking as the comic rolls on!
Some Recaps of old news - We have a brand new logo which I feel flows very nicely. It replaces the old one which now adorns entrance to the old archives. The split in the archives is to reflect the change in the comic since Andrew has left the comic, and we boldy go forward without him - good luck in all your endeavors Andrew!
Stay tuned for new characters to show up - with a note: While a lot of the characters here-in are based on real people, their adventures are, pretty obviously, all created in my head and impossible. Only a few strips reflect real events, and even those are subject to exageration. That being said, I have taken liberties with these characters, with permission, that allow the story to go on.
UPDATE SCHEDULE Remember that the comic strip updates once every two weeks. If it hasn't, either I lost track of which weekend it was, or you need to bug me.
GUEST STRIPS
Also, if you'd like to submit a guest strip, feel free to do so. below are some templates if you're worried about sizes. All guest strips get credited here, and your website/deviant site linked in. Your strips will NOT be published in book format without your permission.
Lastly, For those of you who found the old Archives tough to search through, I've attemptd an updated, but entirely manual system. Please tell me what you think or if you know someone who can help me set up an automated one.
Pretty little buttons
