Comic Promotion and Guerilla Marketting Brainstorm
fenmere:
There are two very simple scripts that I recommend to anyone who can't make their own. I've used both and have settled on the second for now:
http://www.solitude.dk/gallerythingie/
and webcomicConfig.zip from
http://www.snafu-comics.com/php.php
Neither have a nifty calendar for navigation, though.
GalleryThingie works better as an online gallery. It displays your work the moment you update it, and it creates thumbnails. I've found that thumbnail pages are a remarkably good way to navigate the archives of a comic, though.
WebComicConfig is an even simpler script that GalleryThingie. It's sole archive navigator is "the dropdown menue of doooooom." However, it does organize the comics by date, and so you can upload them months ahead of time if you want, and your comic will be automatically updated when the time comes.
It should actually be pretty easy to combine the two scripts with almost no extra coding, if you want.

Thanks for the scripts, Fenmere! Those might come in handy...
Someday...

I use iStrip for all the comics at my site: iStrip= http://istrip.foxholeproductions.com/
It is so super easy. It uses a template system and comes with ready made Cast and FAQ pages ready to fill out, and self generating Archive and News pages. And you just have to copy one and add your own HTML to get whatever kind of page you want. The templating system (Smarty) handles the comics and all you have to customize is regular HTML to your own tastes. There's a web interface for uploading comics and adding news. You can upload strips in advance and have them appear starting on a certain date. I can't say enough good things about it.
iStrip rules.
Mollinda:
Thanks guys!
The iscript one looks fab - I have bookmarked all three so I can have a play!
Rone:
I've been trying to find a good script for a while. Thanks so much! This will make archiving soooo much easier.
