I did code the website myself, but I have no idea what SSH is.

USERNAME: kylontario

SITE TITLE: Kylontario
(yeah, it's all the same)

EMAIL: kylontario [at] gmail [dot] com

SITE DESCRIPTION:
What I plan on doing with the site are two things: First, I would host my comic and artwork on there, along with information of my characters and stories. The other thing is to host my games. Some games may be made in Flash so they'd be playable right on the browser, but others will be my work in Game Maker. Most games don't usually get over 10mb each, if that helps.

Aside from those two main parts, there will also be a contact page, links to other sites, a news page, and a character blog just for fun.

My current site is hosted at http://kylontario.webs.com. As you'll see there, I already have a bunch going on, but it's also going to be redone a bit if I'm able to transfer to this host. My old comic is also available there, and hopefully it'll give some insight into what I'm going to do if I get the space.

More of my art, along with my most recent updates, can be found at http://kylontario.deviantart.com.

I'm not sure if what's there is really enough, and I'd also like to keep things interesting, so I'd like to take the Challenge as well. I think this'll help me get better set up, and also help me to sort of proof read my plans if I'm being questioned by someone else.

EDIT: Just a notice I thought was important. I don't have any internet connection at home, and it's now summer break for me, so the time I can get online will be seldom. I'll try to get on as much as possible though. I don't know how that effects the application, but I hope it doesn't. Sorry.

I know absolutely nothing about PHP and CSS, both of which I've heard are important in making web comic sites. In fact, I know only very basic HTML. Does anyone know where I can find either a tutorial for making comic sites or a template that comes with a user guide? Any help will be much appreciated.

I think it could either be the browser or even the server itself. If the site is running on a Linux server, some images might not show up because the server is case-sensitive and can't read them. Learned that the hard way myself when I tried running on a Linux server. I think Mac servers do this too, I'm not sure. Also, Firefox itself may be case-sensitive, but I really don't know about that. Hope that helps.

I didn't see any particular threads or boards for making intros, so I hope posting it here is OK.

So anyway, the name's Kylontario, but you can just call me Kylo for short. I'm an artist, writer, wannabee comic writer (I've tried one comic in several ways but didn't get far, and the other I did is just a sprite comic), game programmer, and on very sparse occasion animator. Yeah, I do a lot.

I joined this reason for two forums: one, I'd like to move my site over to a new server since Freewebs is a pain and I can't afford anymore space, and two, the people here seem nice so I'd like to make some friends here.

Apart from making games and drawing and other above, I like playing Bomberman, although when I play online I tend to get fragged a whole lot. I also like reading other people's comics, and have considered writing reviews.

One thing that gets me miffed beyond most anything else is when people write these totally awesome stories and give them a crappy ending. I can understand canceling a comic because you can't do it anymore, but saying the middle of the story is the official end and leaving tons of plot lines open and at cliffhangers.... I think I'll stop before I get into a rant. But you get it.

Hmm.... Not sure what else I should put here right now. I guess I'll go buzz around a bit and get to know people until I get the courage to apply for a site. If you guys have any questions, go ahead and ask. I'll answer as best I can.
