    OKAY so i've been tinkering around with plugins and setting for wordpress, and theoretically my site should load/cache things more efficiently from now on

    it may still be a little slow to load the first page (because godaddy hosting is crud and slow)

    but hopefully there won't be as many 30 second delays between pages any more

    although now i am worried that maybe it's only faster for ME, and i somehow made it worse for everyone else

    that is usually how it works

    It loads pretty quick for me, even the first page.

    Also, just to throw it out there, we went with DreamHost as our hosting provider. We pay $55 a year, unlimited everything, and they have fantastic support.

    Every time I come in here it makes me really want to create a webcomic. I must resist this temptation, because I have no sense of humor.

    Also, why are you selling shirts

    your characters don't wear shirts (often)

    C+H characters don't wear shirts (except the purple-shirted eye stabber don't ask I fucking ate that shit up when I was younger)

    Your target audience clearly does not own nor care for shirts

    look call me obstinate if you want

    but i truly believe that that the businesspeople reading my comics need quirky t-shirts, not extra ties!

    if they are reading my comic during board meetings, they probably already own eight or more bright green ties because they are obviously the "wacky" one in their office

    also somebody bought a shirt for the first time today woooo

    man i've had my first couple of hatemail things in the last few days; i'm not exactly sure what to think

    i'm not really sure that i do enough of anything to warrant actual hatred

    ALSO what the heck is the etiquette when it comes to insulting comments on blogs/webcomics?

    part of me wants to be like "well fair enough, you are entitled to your opinion"

    but on the other hand it is my website and i can just choose to delete them

    i suppose this is what hitler felt like

    Um...

    Something like:


    Circle all that apply

    "Dear Reader,
    Thank you for your interest in my webcomic. I'm glad that you (liked/hated) its guts. Please, continue to (enjoy/despise) it on a regular basis. I (appreciate your positive feedback/will [email protected]#$% you until you cry my $&^% tears).

    sincerely,

    Me."

    Then you just highlight the options you want to be directed at the recipient. Or, alternatively, let them circle their own options I guess.

    somebody tried to post a comment on the site that was like "i like your comics but you are a fucking awful person. you are a silly goose who is probably socially retarded and can't even tie his own shoes"

    it's like... what? what does not being able to tie my shoes have to do with anything? :(

    Sounds more like a troll than a genuine critique. Its not like he actually knows you as a person (as awful as you may be) so that isn't a distinction he can actually make (you're a terrible person).
