Salt & Battery Comics

It’s here! It’s finally here! I’ve seriously been working on bringing the new redesign almost nonstop for the past couple weeks now, and it’s just now ready enough for the front page. Granted, I can guarantee there are some tweaks and such that still need to be done, but those minor things (i.e. formatting, Archives page, etc.) can wait for later. As for now, I’m pleased with how the header came out (Super’s usually full of hot air anyway) and the color scheme looks decent as well. I’m considering going with something other than green for the links (even though I’ve got an insatiable love affair with that color), and the background needs a bit of work. All in all however, I think the site is shaping up to look like a real website.

Now it’s not to say I haven’t had my fair share of near heart attacks over this whole thing. Besides losing sleep, I nearly deleted my entire WordPress installation without backing up my posts first – actually I did delete it, but was fortunately able to reinstall WordPress and then just pointed it to the still-active database. There comes those little moments of panic where you start taking a mental inventory of what just happened and what all you’re going to have to do in order to fix it. In a way, it’s sort of like losing a wallet – except without that whole ‘potential identity theft’ thing.

Before I sign out for the night, I just wanted to update all of you out in Salt & Battery Land on your favorite online strip. S&B is still on track for this Sunday – in fact, the sketches are all done and I’m waiting to try my new symmetry ruler tool which I just learned how to use. And as an additional hinty-hint, we’re coming up on the first real story arc for Salt & Battery. Just thought I’d throw that out there. =)
