ComicPress Manager 1.1 is out, and there’s a lot of good stuff in here:

• Fixed pathfinding issues that caused comics directories and WordPress roots not to be found
• Much improved support for Yahoo! hosting and Windows/IIS hosting. And by “improved” I mean they work now
• Improved support for Internet Explorer
• Optimized page layout and reduction in JavaScript usage, which means better performance
• Improved granularity of error messages, so you know exactly what’s going wrong

Big huge thanks go out to Phil from Frumph.NET for providing a lot of debug support for Yahoo! and Windows/IIS hosting. Also big thanks to the forum members who have provided error logs, phpinfo() runs, and have stuck with ComicPress Manager through these last couple of versions. And to everyone else: If ComicPress Manager wasn’t working for you before, give it another shot now and let me know if it works or not. Most likely, the bug that was biting you has been squashed.

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!
