... I need some serious help.

You see, at my dear old school, we have a little thing called 'Senior Projects'. This is a project(duh) that you have to do during your senior year(agian, duh) or you fail out and everyone hates you cause you ruined the system.
So, basically, you can do whatever you want for your project, so long as you learn from it. my thought process for deciding what i wanted to do was something like "Well, I should do something that I already like, and something that's origonal and that not a lot of people know about" For some odd reason, this led me to webcomics. My problem? I know NOTHING about webcomic, other then the obvious things.
I already have a basic story line, with characters, and all that jazz, but... well, can anyone help me out with the other parts of it? I have no idea how to get the stupid thing on the internet and make a webpage. I need to know if my idea is actually a good one or not, although that can wait for a while. Also, just basic tips and pointers would be awsome.
Thanks to anyone who can even begin to help me with this.

my questions would be "are you a decent artist, or do you know one?", "do you think you can write a semi-decent story?", "do you think you are disciplined enough to update regularly?" and "will you enjoy doing it?"

if you can answer "yes" to all of those, then i'd say that the webcomic is a good coice!  if not then maybe something else would be a more productive Senior Project.

if you are not sure whether or not you're going to keep it going, then maybe you could start off at keenspace, as they give free hosting for comics.  they plaster ads all over the place, but if you don't find a decent alternative then at least it'll get your project up and running.

good luck!

Thanks est, that actually helped a lot.

Also, would anyone be willing to give me good feedback (constructive critism and all that jazz) on this when the comic is actually up and running (which wouldn't be for a few weeks)?

torg:
sure, we all will do... :)

i dont know, if a webcomic does actually have to post ne strips on a regular base... in my opinion any comic, that is posted onm the web is a webcomic. think of 'copper'. i'd say, it's a webcomic, although new pages are posted when they are done...usually not more often than once a month, if at all....

ElRodente:
sure, im well used to dosing out some good ol' C&C


edit: and i suppose that for decent mars you would have to be at least semi regular
