OK, so 1.1.2 is out and it fixes an issue where I used a function that was introduced in PHP 5.2. Bad John! Bad! Download the new copy when you get the chance.

Additionally, I’ll started a series of posts that go into a good bit of detail on how to use, and bend, WordPress + ComicPress + ComicPress Manager to your will, and it gives you a brief rundown on how to make your site scream.  Go ahead and read the first part of this three part series!

DJ Coffman of Yirmumah, Hero By Night, Flobots and the Webcomic world in general has recently posted an eight-step guide (”Host your own Friggin Webcomic!”) on getting a host and setting it up with WordPress and ComicPress to get your comic online.

If you’re just getting started, be sure to go check it out.

Also of similar interest, Scott Story of Johnny Saturn has started a Web Wednesday feature on his site that covers setting up and maintaining a comic website. The second installment features a brief ComicPress setup as well as a list of the plugins he uses/recommends.

And for a more in depth guide, and if you haven’t already, go read ComicPress Manager developer, John Bintz’s three-part technical guide:

ComicPress Manager 1.1.3 is out, and it routes around an issue with WordPress 2.6.2’s handling of get_posts() and query_posts(). This functionality is used when importing comics and when getting the site status. Download the newest ComicPress Mananger and let us know if you have any problems.
