| state of the website/blog update |
A new Todd and Penguin will be up Tuesday. I spent my free time this weekend working on the blog redesign. (Dontchya' love the pretty blog header? No more lame text header.) Not having the time to learn CSS and being limited to Classic Blogger, I was forced to search for an already made template CLOSE to what I want. I finally settled on a template from suckmylolly.com and put in my own header. I have to modify a couple of other things during the week, like adding a label list. Classic blogger is such a pain in the butt! I don't know why Blogger doesn't allow you to export the new blogger system to your own site. Grrrr...
I'm also working on a redesign for Taking Up Space, to make that comic horizontal, rather than stacked vertical, so I can add a blog over there. No, not another blog by me, but a blog by Jessika. She has lots to say, er, I mean complain about.
So, yeah, that's why Todd and Penguin will be a day behind schedule. I know, I know, you all don't come here for pretty site designs and probably want to throw rocks at me when I spend more time on behind the scenes stuff than the comic. I can't help it. I get obsessed with the design side of it and what I want my site to do and offer. And since I don't think moving everything to wordpress/comicpress is a viable option on my server, and would probably blow all the links set up for the archives people have bookmarked, I am forced to find other ways to get the same options such comic/blog sites have.
Note to Tony Piro : I'm still planning to do a guest strip for you. You should hear more in a week or so. And for those of you not named Tony Piro, or who are wondering who Tony Piro is, click on his name to check out his awesome strip. If you like Taking Up Space, you will like Calamities of Nature.
as always, thanks for reading,

Name: Blogger Dad
Home: Florida, United States
About Me: I was a reporter at a Florida newspaper, where I covered city politics and draw editorial comics. Now, I'm a Blogger Dad (click the link for my webpage - the blog on the bottom is for Todd and Penguin) in search of a job and attempting to write a book or four.
I'm also a cartoonist, how most of you know me, who draws Todd and Penguin, Taking Up Space and the occasional other titles, featured on KeenSpot.com.
I'm married (sorry, all you ladies interested in overweight guys who spend too much time drawing) and have a one year old son and two cats. Three of the above mentioned poop way too much!
