I'm digging wordpress alot, but I'm trying to make my site a little more seamless with my webcomic, I've seen tons of requests but not much help or ideas. I'm fairly comfortable with html, but not with PHP.
My site is http://www.gamesmademe.com as you'll see I have it where my comic is the root and my news/info/site is under http://www.gamesmademe.com/blog, so in essence it's two seperate sites, I'd like to have my links and everything also getting updated on the root site.
I'd like it to look layout wise a little more like.
http://www.adgrunts.com/ or http://www.ok-cancel.com/
They both use wordpress, but not sure how I can do similiar...
Any ideas?
Thanks..

Browsing the two sites you linked, I suppose you want to associate a comic with every blog entry?
If so, just write the blog entry regularly and enter the url for the comic image in custom field.

Yes, kind of but that doesn't leave an easy interface with the next/previous last/first and archive features associated with it, instead it's attached at the blog entry level. Plus, if I add a new comic the other one is below it.
More like this, the comic with the navigation and the news and links underneath it like this image here:

This was posted recently:

(I don't know if it helps though)
I was hoping there was a way I could possibly just add the walrus comic code or another php comic script into the index.php between the header and footer, but it seems much more complicated then that.

So, on that screenshot of yours, you want to be able to browse/navigate the comic strips, but the post below it will stay as "The Joy of Schooling?"
If so, you could have two Loops. One Loop grabs the Post in category "comic" (this Post will contain the comic strip); another Loop displays the category of non-"comic."
That would work, yes, most of the comics speak for themselves I would think and wouldn't need an explanation on what was transpiring. An option to have news/comic would be nice too though.
Guess I'll have to look up loops. Not sure, I would like the links and everything with the news, and the comic with navigation seperate.. yes.
