On Rebooting

Jeff’s Pie Shop, you may have noticed, is rather ill. This is because;

  1. It was our first shot at making a webcomic
  2. Neither of us had a clue about how to run a webcomic
  3. We know nothing about website design
  4. We were doing this off-the-cuff
  5. We are completely stark raving mad.

So, the site is in sore need of rebooting. Here are some of the features you can expect the new site to have;

  1. WordPress 2.8.3, which apparently allows us to update the site without completely rebooting it
  2. A slightly different site address so that the main site won’t be affected if we break the beta
  3. A different colour scheme to the WP+CP default
  4. All of the comics re-released on a regular (probably weekly) schedule
  5. Buffer comics in case Azarov screws up
  6. Some of the blog posts (those that aren’t about news or recent events) re-released, again on a regular schedule
  7. Blog posts under comics (a la Rob and Elliot) instead of in their own seperate archive (which is silly)

So, when can we expect this? Well, it will probably be worked on at some point after I finish my HSC. Meaning late November-early December is our expected date of actual launching, weather permitting. In the meantime, Azarov can fix his scanner and work on getting into a weekly schedule. On that topic, may I suggest that you next draw the continuation of the story rather than going off on a radio-smashing tangent?

    I was just thinking of doing the radio-smashing stuffs as a bit of freehand practice. However, if you insist…
    Re scanner: we seem to be in the deep hejeexi with it. The new computer (and the only one that works) seems to have a real communications problem with the scanner. Might be because the scanner is so old and the computer is so new….

    You get one post per comic as it is.
