That's ok.
I'd love to have help. Actually, I need it.

This whole thing's gonna have to wait till tomorrow, anyway. I'm having computer issues here.
PS: What kinds of technologies am I going to need?

Ahh, well, for just a webcomic, unless you feel like going crazy overboard and adding some things in like a comic forum, all you'll need is http, which is guaranteed, otherwise it wouldn't be a web host, and php, which is probably included in 95% of them. Mysql would be nice if you eventually wanted some more advanced stuff, but not needed. =)

Well, I'm not coollojazz, but I prefer simple website layouts. For a webcomic, you probably don't need too much in the way of menus or buttons. As for colors and style, that would kinda depend on the style of the comic. Maybe a notebook paper background, with a light blue/white colorscheme?

Well, the base currently would look like http://up.x10.mx/wut/freyaday.php, I have no idea what colors and whatnot you would want though, so it's a bit bland... =P  Also, sizes and positions can all easily be changed.  I just need something to go off of. =D

Seems Reasonable. I'll make a mockup. In my notebook.

Ooh, a web comic :D I always loved those!  One suggestion is that you trace them out on paper, then transfer them to comp and touch up the comic to make it more legible.  That way it's much more fun and easy to read, and patrons of the series won't have to spend time wondering what a scribble or a lightly-pressed word says.

But looking at what you've posted before, I don't need to remind you to make them really humorous :) you seem very good at that.

Yay! I'm funny!
I hate the way pasted in text boxes look, though, so I'm just gonna write neater. I do some minor touchups anyway, but I'm gonna have to investigate into the abilities of Paint more. Maybe I'll have a button that overlays text boxes onto the image.

If you use Paint.net there are some good plugins for touching up images
