This Space For Rent!
Happy Friday everyone.
I have no idea if this is appearing just live on the site or on the RSS, but we’ll learn together, won’t we?
Anyway, as I’ve mentioned in the comic blog, I have this space here and I’m not sure what to do with it. Admittedly, keeping it blank is always an option as it’s been for quite awhile. It makes the page smaller, so you guys can get to the links and all that happiness quicker, but there is also the option here to do some other things.
For those who don’t know, I’ve wrote reviews over at Comics Nexus for a couple of years, and still do my wrestling reporting over at their mother-site. I also am an avid video game player, and flash game player.. but it just seems that webcomics and video games in the same forum has been overdone at this point. I’ve also considered the idea of taking some of my advertisers and reviewing their comics, but that doesn’t seem altogether a great thing to do. What if I read it and hate it? I don’t want to slam on someone who was kind enough to throw me a little scratch…
So what to do with this space? I’m asking you. Any of my ideas sound strong? Have one of your own? Or just delete it and go back to blank slate so the page is nice and compact and you don’t have to mix up the comic with the dumb writer’s opinions, which I admittedly have complained about other people doing in the past. (No, I don’t want to read a 3 page blog to UNDERSTAND your comic… yuck)
It would be completely seperate from IHL except that it would be me writing both.
Comment along and let me know,
Jamie
I think if you keep what you say to under a paragrpah and a few bullet points, you should be fine. Like for example, “Heya folks, we are starting a new storyline today” or “In the spirit of ______, I offer this strip” or … what have you. You could let folks know what other webcomics you ae reading … or a bit about your humor influences or what you find funny this week. Are you a Steve Martin guy? Do you prefer the antics of Benny Hill? Or Jack Benny? Or, DNA? What shapped you into the creative mastermind we all know you to be? Etc … etc … etc …
