CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a wonderful thing in theory, but it is amazing how hard it can be to use in practice. Case in point – IE, instead of overlapping the cover image a bit over the righthand column, pushes it all the way down the page leaving a ton of white space. Bad IE! Anyhow I’ve put in an ugly fix this morning that will work on IE if you have 1024×768 settings on your monitor or above (smaller setting still get the white space). Firefox seems to behave though. Hopefully I can resolve this over the weekend…
Also I put up here the first two articles from the March issue: an interview with Jeph Jacques and a new Welton Colbert webcomic.
Now onto the webcomic news!

Ryan North posts a short note about T Campbell leaving their OhNoRobot site solely in North's hands going forward.
I've met North at SPXPo – he might be the tallest webcomic creator and after reading about this split between him and Campbell I think he might be the nicest guy in webcomics too.
I haven’t used Clickwheel myself b/c my iPod doesn’t have a screen, but Jeff Lowrey at Fleen has and he offers some criticisms about the user interface. Apart from whether or not we will all enjoy reading comics on our iPods or not, making the transfer of comics to your iPod as easy as possible is probably a necessary step to Clickwheel’s potential for success.

I’m not sure I like the way the Comics Podcasts Network is organized but a central directory for comics-related podcasts is a good idea (and I’m glad I now don’t have to do it myself!!). Continue Reading

From reading the site it sounds like anyone can get an account to publish their comics with Clickwheel, but artists must first send sample work to Clickwheel (see the FAQ for more details. Continue Reading
