you need some padding on the right hand side of your blockquotes.
and you need to fix the navigation.. the “more” at the bottom of the front page .. its confusing.
there arent any next/previous links anywhere that I saw ..
If it were me, and I wanted to skim through your comics that would be a numero uno item on my have list.
Thanks for the feedback!
I hadn’t noticed the problem with the blockquotes – it should be fixed now.
The navigation links are below the comics themselves – there are previous and next links. I made the font a bit bigger so that they’ll stand out more.
I’m not sure where that [more] is coming from – I’ll dig into the theme a bit to try and figure it out.
The theme that I’m using is http://mindfaucet.com/comicpress/ . I haven’t made many changes to it yet.
aha, now I see them..
I think I misspoke earlier — the problem is on the right hand side.
(nope I didnt)
It looks like there is more padding on the left now..but the right hand side is still cramped. Text is up against the border.
Great looking site! It comes off as simple yet very clean looking. I really like it.
Like like like… must have been quite the effort to move over to WP but I’m betting you are glad you did!
Top Scripts:
I’m thinking there needs to be some kind of mathematical ‘weighting’ here… just mho, but one that maintains a 4.94 over 17 votes beats a 5 with only 8 votes. Yes, no?
Also I’m thinking if the rankings came first, you might get a more equal column (table) look, which would be easier (again imho) to read through the titles. The in/out of the list is tough on my old eyes (50plus). Or maybe you just stuff them in a table/div and be done with it?
I really like the figure in the upper right of the header image… reminds me of Invader Zim for some reason… But, I’d like to see more “cartoony” things on the pages.
Nothing childish mind you; but more of a comic book look and feel… borders around the posts, different beings for different post categorys, that sort of thing.
Whatcha think?
Oh – if you could make those voice bubble a bit bigger so the text could be a bit bigger, my old eyes would thank you 🙂
By the way – I gave up 56 minutes of my life and read through every, single comic on your site.
You HAVE improved – keep it coming!
Hey- glad you like it!
The ratings script is a plugin, so unless I wade into the php code, it’s stuck the way it is. My hope is that the ratings will normalize as time goes on and the votes pile up.
The fonts the bubbles sometimes get a bit small because I’m not always as mindful of my target resolution as I should be. There are a couple that even I find hard to read, so I’m definitely going to try to make them bigger.
I’ll probably tinker with the borders, etc. as time goes on. Moving everything over the WP has taken up quite a chunk of time this past week, so I’ve left things more-or-less theme to the theme default so far. I think that Beaver and Steve is a good example of a comic-ified stylesheet.
Yup, I like it. Kevin, for my taste the BS site is almost over-board, its like right on the edge of being too comic-like.
Your site is not too far from being ‘there’. Fact is, I’d be pretty pleased with it if it were mine.
Maybe when you have time you can ponder some subtle changes to font, backgrounds and borders, some pieces here and there you’ve drawn, give it some soul.
They say in design a little can be a lot.
All the best with your work – and give that robot-dude in the corner some work!
