I've found a comic strip module, but it seems to be so that you can pipe in mainstream comics to your site, which isn't what I want. I want a comic strip module that will allow me to post my *own* comics to the site. Any ideas?
Thanks much,

Depends on what features you are looking for it to do, but I would consider using Gallery It would allow you to seperate your comics into different albulms so you could sperate them by date, topic, or whatever. It has a slideshow function so users could scan through your comics, and you could give each comic keywords when you upload it so that it would be searchable. Could also have a block for the front of your site that showed a random comic or I am sure you could alter that block to show comic of the day or something.
Just an idea.
Good luck finding something that works for you!

That's a great idea, but unfortunately I already have Gallery running, with photos (and ideally I'd like the comics to be seperate and not accessible on the photo page). Is it possible to run more than one Gallery module, do you know?

Not sure if it would be possible to run two instances of Gallery, but why not just make two albulms in the main gallery, one called photos and one called comics for instance.
Then for the link in your main menu for the photos just have it point to:
Sure a savvy user could browse all the way back to the root but no real harm there, and the users who want to just see comics will be taken straight to the comics?
I see you ended up using My_eGallery for the comic strips, guess that is another way to skin the cat
But I just think especially for the comic portion the thumbnails of the actual strip in the view album screen look cooler then just a static image
Anyways you have a good looking site I like the theme you are using. Good luck and have fun!

Great idea! I had no idea you could have nested albums in Gallery - I'm definitely going to change it. I *hate* My_Gallery, so *phew*, what a relief.
