Trying to start a webcomic
« on: April 20, 2011, 08:42:56 pm »
I'm trying to start a webcomic. I've got a name (Frameless Comic) and all the other comic bits, I'm just missing the web part. Any advice or help on anything at all, anyone?

What kind of help do you need? (HTML programming, setting up a website, JS programming, etc)

Just a simple webcomic interface wouldn't be too hard, you could do something like what I made for a webcomic me and my friend might do at some point eventually:
Code: [Select]
<?php
    $current = 3;
    $pagenumber = $_GET[&#39;p&#39;];
    $navnumber = $_GET[&#39;n&#39;];
    $imagesrc = "";
    if ($pagenumber) {
 $imagesrc = "img/$pagenumber.jpg";
 $page = $pagenumber;
    } else {
 $imagesrc = "img/$current.jpg";
 $page = $current;
    }
    if (!$navnumber) {
 $navnumber = 1;
    }
?>
<?php
    $current = 3;
    $pagenumber = $_GET[&#39;p&#39;];
    $navnumber = $_GET[&#39;n&#39;];
    $imagesrc = "";
    if ($pagenumber) {
 $imagesrc = "img/$pagenumber.jpg";
 $page = $pagenumber;
    } else {
 $imagesrc = "img/$current.jpg";
 $page = $current;
    }
    if (!$navnumber) {
 $navnumber = 1;
    }
?>

This would assume each one is simply (number).jpg, and it has 2 pages, a home page and an about us page.  For a host, if you want a fre host, I've been using x10 for a while and I love it. =D

A good host, domain name suggestions, Features I should include on the site, a good size/format for the images, etc.
Edit: Ak! That's a lot of code. And I understand none of it. Is anyone willing to help me with code?

Well, you can look at others webcomics for inspiration, such as xkcd.

I think there's a Wordpress plugin for webcomics.

(People posting right after makes edits not work :P) Anyways, like I said above X10Hosting is pretty good, and since frameless.com is already taken, if you're shooting for a .com, I would just keep it simple and go with framelesscomic.com.

A good host
http://www.heliohost.org/ has worked well for me.

Quote
domain name suggestions
Would you purchase a domain name or just use .tk or .co.cc?

Quote
Features I should include on the site, a good size/format for the images, etc.
I don't have any suggestions for features other then a full-text search. Image size would be best if kept under 1024x512 or 800x256.

Edit: Ak! That's a lot of code. And I understand none of it. Is anyone willing to help me with code?
Sorry no, as most of my programming experience is with somewhat complex algorithms (very boring stuff) in C or C# and I am still learning JS/HTML/PHP.

I could help you customize that code to work for your site if you want.  It's a pretty generic setup =D

That'd be awesome cooliojazz! I don't need nor particularly care about purchasing a domain name, so I'm fine with free. The url's probably gonna be framelesscomic.tk then. Two letters are cool.

You'd probably just need to get on irc or something so we could discus it.  Btw, you haven't really answered other people's questions so they can help you =P
