all of World Ends is now online

World Ends: Graphic Novel

40 pages. All of them.

I finished it two days ago, putting together both PDF version for printing and web version is way more exhausting than drawing the comic itself T_T I wish I could use photoshop batch thingy, but I have bad memories about it, it locked up my pc and I can’t do anything except format. yeah, no batch conversion for me.

I really want more people to read this one, but I’m not sure how to go around promoting it *sigh*

Wordpress tinkering: part deux

Tim Burton's Robotboy

It took me 3 months to find out how to really make WP works for this site the way I REALLY REALLY wanted. The problem with the walkaround I used in order to have separate main page and blog page is the ugly URL, because the blog page is actually the category archive page, the URL became sixkillerbunnies.com/cat/blog, /cat being taxonomy for category archive page (WP don’t let you do without, pfft) and /blog being the main category name. I thought I could live with it, but obviously I can’t.

what I really wanted was for that page URL to be sixkillerbunnies.com/blog. I also know that (almost) nothing simple htaccess couldn’t do. Problem was that I never really get around learning it properly, I just guess how it works and then tinker with it (kids, don’t do this at home).

so what I did, to make sixkillerbunnies.com/cat/blog (aka ugly URL) becomes sixkillerbunnies.com/blog (aka pretty URL) , is that, first, I changed taxonomy for category archive page to ‘blog’ then I changed main category name from ‘blog’ to ‘category’ (yes, category named category :D). This way, URL for other category archives also become something pretty like ‘/blog/category/news’ etc. The last step (actually the only step :D) is to edit .htaccess so sixkillerbunnies.com/blog point to the right category archives.

There’s one problem, page navigation for blog page now doesn’t work, but, well, I’m happy with this now, Fred gonna have to fix that later :D

*out*

little change on the site

I’m such a wordpress junkie, no, I didnt code my own plugin or anything :D but I finally figured out how to have main index page and separated blog page without using any plugin or something too messy.

the problem was that fred wanted the index page to be clean, but I wanted a full blown blog page, you know, with lots of nonsense shitty links on the side and lots and lots of fun-but-useless plugin installed.

so, the trick is to create one category (in my case ‘blog’) and have every other category under it, that’s all, you dont even have to post in that main category, since the category page will also display posts from its child categories, very nifty. after that, all you have to do is create template for blog category to mimic the normal index blog page, and there you go :D

New Site & URL

Isn’t this just lovely? A new site with a rather cool & memorable URL

Ok, so we’re easily bored and we like change. Especially if it’s a fun change! Darkroom Fiction got old after using it for 2 years and Shari never liked it much anyway. She found it too formal. I wanted it to be formal, that was the point. But I too was starting to feel that the name and the site theme was starting to get a bit stale.

After all, we’re not about formal. We’re about twisted silly fun! It’s what we do best.

Welcome to our new home :)
