Featured Site: Around Comics
ComicPress Version: 2.0 BE
Modifications: Light but clever

Got a little behind in the Friday Feature, as one year came to an end and a new one began. So to get back on track, I want to feature a site cleverly using ComicPress just a little bit different than the rest… to publish Podcasts… not Webcomics. Around Comics is a podcast about comic book culture, with minimal graphic additions they have styled the theme to look very slick.

Anyway, using ComicPress for other things than Webcomics is and interesting idea, I know some people have used it for sketch diaries and even photos, but this is something entirely different. It works well, because you are still delivering regular content, which gets special feature treatment for the posts with that content, the Podcast file itself is of course a link but in place of where the comic image would normally sit, is a custom “front page” for that Podcast, a graphical representation to go with it, which visually is great for an otherwise graphically impaired medium, and I’m sure it helps entice a non-subscribing viewer who stumbles across the page to wanting to give it a listen.

If you know of any other sites using the ComicPress theme to publish something other than Webcomics, please post them, would be fun to see.
