  • artsfish – I’ve been playing around with the Yak/WP combo for a day or two, on and off. I finally went into sandbox mode with paypal.

    I’ve visited your site and like what I see – Congrats!

    I’ve visited the yak author page too, followed all his steps, but thought it a bit vague on the paypal section.

    I get payments into the sandbox but I’m not exactly sure what’s supposed to happen to the buyer once they make the payment.

    If you’re familiar with all this – keep reading; otherwise sorry 🙂

    I’ve been testing the IPD – which, if I read the yak pages correctly, are supposed to update the order inside your wp application as being paid.

    If that’s true – its not happening for me, even though the payments get into the paypal sandbox correctly.

    So – any pointers, tips, suggestions, ideas or what not regarding paypal, yak and wp?

    (Thought I’d ask you before I bugged the author if that’s okay!)

    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!

    If I had to guess… I’d think it was related to how you have your paragraphs styled in CSS.

    Try pulling them (the images) outside the <p>, maybe put them in a plain old <div>.

    I just started messing with lightbox and nearly every problem I have read about ends up being related to styling (Css).

    Can’t hurt to try it! Would only take a couple minutes. 🙂

    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!

    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 🙂

    I agree on the beauty…

    Might I suggest – even though it has been two months – perhaps a more interesting feature for the header image may be one of these:

    1. The hanging lamps draw the eye. How slick would it be for the image to start darker, the lights to flicker then rise to full intensity?

    2. Perhaps movement of the text title – some subtle effect instead of the ‘spider web’.

    As a final note, I’m keen to see additional header images, a sort of mini-gallery….

    Certainly a site to gauge one’s own work by – congrats!
