New Comixpedia Bloggers - UPDATED

NEW NEWS&VIEWS WRITERS

I'd like to announce the list of new front page writers for Comixpedia's daily news&views updates. I'll have a more formal post up soon, but I ought to announce them now so they can get started posting:

There's still one invitation out there so we might have one more name to announce. Plus there's still myself and long-time front page writer Giant Panda.

ADVERTS

I'm switching the top of the site to Project Wonderful ads (the smaller PW ads on the right side will be phased out). ~~Because of the layout I had to go with two separate ad boxes so - just heads-up - the price may be different on the left versus the right ad~~. On second thought, I realized how much worse I'd made the site this morning with my changes so I've flipped things back and while this design is still live (likely for awhile at least) we'll go with one ad box up top with three ads. I'm still unclear on what the best Project Wonderful format is - so I'm curious as to how this will work out for folks. My apologies for deleting all of the bids that went in today.

SITE DESIGN

Along with working on a new version of the site (to take advantage of the lastest version of the Drupal code the site runs on) plans are afoot for a new design for the site. In the short term before that debuts I'll do my best to keep things around here from breaking too much.

And speaking of Drupal

The "new comments" link only works if the first unread comment is on the first page of comments.

I know - it's annoying isn't it? I've been planning out the next version of Comixpedia to use Drupal 5.0. I should see if anyone has done anything about that...

On second thought, let's not go to Comixpedia. It is a silly place.

I run this place! Tip the piano player on the way out.

If you're looking for opinions on the PW ads, I prefer to have several in one box (not split between multiple) because then I can place a bid across all ad boxes and only have my ad show up in the cheapest possible box. It makes it much nicer for me as a buyer, and it makes me much more likely to bid.

Good point on PW

I agree - which is part of the reason why I undid what I did yesterday and went with three up top in one "box".

I guess I'm also trying to understand whether three smaller ones up top is better or worse then 1 bigger one up top. I mean "better" in several ways - better at attracting attention for the advertisers? better for readers? better for Comixpedia?
