Just in blogs, for things like website links, or even for something like a portfolio where you scroll through several images at once? Cos the advantage of Shadow Boxing like that is that once it opens one image, site, document, you can navigate through all like content from the shadow box itself. Even in this blog you can press next and then go through all the sites I listed all at one time. My initial thought was that that would be easier for people to look through the sites.

haha, well then… I guess I will be swapping the links out. When more than one person tells me they don’t like something I start to believe it. [I'll get to it sometime tomorrow most likely]

To be completely honest, I think It would be a good idea, but i know as far as managing, that in itself is more work. Creating this new collective in its self took us extra time we barely had. At least with WCPC there is more resourcing (as in more members), but who knows, like you said, if that would fly. I’d back you on it though if you even posed it in a formal manner to the collective. :]

Yeah I totally agree re. the annoyance of the pop-up window.

I think I may have suggested at some point sub-divising WCPC comics up into sub-categories/genres. Not sure if that’ll fly – we’ll see.

I didn’t think about it that way, I guess I figured it would just be easier for people who are reading my blogs to be able to stay here at the site by seeing the site as a pop up so they know what I’m talking about, then they could get back to reading. Didn’t occur to me that someone may want to bookmark the linked sites. Thanks for pointing that out. When i get a chance later I’ll just have them open up new tabs rather than pop up in screen. Then you can open them and jump right back to the blog and have easy bookmarking access. I’ll keep doing it for images though and anything on the main page of the portfolio/store.

Thanks again, I don’t know peoples preferences unless they let me know, you know? lol

Not to overly critic, but why this semi popup thing?

It takes forever to load (>5 seconds = forever, when ablue loads in less than 1) and it if you visit a comic it does not show the url so bookmarking is difficult. I know you offer several other ways to store the page for later, but imo nothing beats a good old fashioned bookmark.

Thanks for the comment! I didn’t realize you kept up with my work. :]

You’re also a member of Webcomic Planet as well, correct? I’m in no way trying to downplay the hardwork that Phil went through to build that collective nor the work that Byron has now inherited from Phil’s sudden retirement from the collective, but I feel like collectives who don’t have a very strong guidance from the beginning aren’t going to go too far as a collective. The individual comics may do stellar and occasionally transfer some of their readers to other comics artists but that cross traffic won’t help if the new readers are interested in the other work because of how different it is. I haven’t checked in over at WCPC in a while, but i know that Byron’s been working hard to shape things up, and I have great respect for him to take over something as developed as WCPC at the point it is in its development. For me, obviously, I’d just start a new collective. haha.

Anyway, thanks for checking out the new collective, we’ll see if any of my ideas actually translate into a successful collective as time unfolds then eh? lol
