Site Explosion, Twitterin’ & Ustreamin’
I tried to add some better navigation to the site, and it messed something up big time! I had a backup of the 2-column version of the site, but not the 3-column version, but I think it looks good like this now, so we’ll leave it. And for those reading via an RSS reader, this is why the comics are suddenly showing up directly in your reader again.

I signed up for Twitter a long time ago, but didn’t really “get it”. But I gave it a second chance and now I find it’s a fun way to keep up with other people, and people to keep up with me. It even lets me auto-post blog updates. Follow Me: http://twitter.com/theblogcomics

For 24 Hour Comics Day 2007 I had hoped to provide a live stream of the comics being created. But the day came up and I hadn’t finished researching how to do it. Then I forgot about it. But yesterday, Scott “PvP” Kurtz mentioned in his blog that he was looking for a way to do it and asked readers for suggestions. So I ventured to try to figure it out… again, and settled on Ustream. I went to tell Kurtz, only to find he was using the same service! Now I’m setup to do the same…
If I remember to turn on the stream, I should be live most weekdays from approx. 5 AM - 8 AM PST (give or take half an hour, lol), and infrequently on the weekends. There’s even a one click Twitter update button that notifies anyone following me that I’m streaming. You can watch it right on the main page of theblogComics.com or go to the this link: http://www.ustream.tv/theblogComics. To participate in the chat, just go to that Ustream link, or click the word balloon on the video frame here on the site.
