Hello! I've been hosting a webcomic through a different service, but well ... their service plans just keep getting more and more costly and ridiculous after each year, and essentially I'm paying for a bunch of things I don't really need (who ever needs 60,000 email accounts?). All I want to do is run one flippin' webcomic.
Anyway, the comic's name is "Bristled" and you can currently find it hosted at
www.bristled-comic.com but I can't guarantee it will be available there for much longer - my subscription is almost expired. There are both HTML and PHP elements therein - I don't know much about PHP but I do have access to a frontend scripting system that is freely-downloadable from enisoc.com that is specifically geared for webcomics, and it seems to work very well (requires PHP and MySQL version 4 or later, only using one database so looks like we're cool there). I do know a fair bit of HTML, so I'm able to customize the pre-built templates to suit my needs and visual identity. Basically everything you see on the site was either done completely by me or is the result of the frontend - I've never needed anyone else to help me get my site working (yet). I also create my own graphics, images, icons, etc. I don't do vacuuming or windows.
The comic itself is an anthro slice-of-life comic (with some oogy-boogy thrown in for taste) revolving around the lives of three roommates, their co-workers, and the occasional ethereal presence. The comic has received a moderate amount of attention, being a finalist for an Ursa Major award for 2007. I've been doing the comic since Halloween of 2006, though real life does tend to interfere and thus a regular update schedule is something of a prickly pear - I started off updating once a week, then tried going to twice a week, and things sort of unraveled. When I can get my site back up and running I do intend to get back to at least a once-a-week schedule.
I do have other samples of my art, including comic-related and -inspired images at
http://azraellewormser.deviantart.com. My e-mail address is mebek19 AT yahoo DAHT com.
As for a username, either "azraelle" or "bristled" (being probably better-suited for the task). I am currently looking into exactly how I might be able to transfer my purchased domain name to a different host, but we'll cross that bridge when the tide comes in.
Feel free to shoot any questions at me, anything you'd like to know that I haven't included here I'll be happy to follow up.
