Some updating happening. See here. A new comment system I want to try. Please test it out? Offer thoughts? Note anything that is going badly? I have left the SJ comment system in place just in case.

Rearranged a few items around the page.

How is this reading experience?

Do things load at an ok speed?

This poll helps me decide to leave the current page as the main page. The only problem with that is also fitting everything else on to the page.

Do you find the bar on the right with book, rss, and ad space to be distracting? Or acceptable?

Of all web comic layouts I've ever seen, my favorite is Templar AZ's layout, except that if I were to copy it, I would like to put more art in the header. But it is so clean and to the point!

I could reorganize mine to be inspired by that, however, there would be that top leader board ad instead of the side tower ad. How would you feel about that?

Thank you all for the feedback. T_T;;; I feel like I've spammed DA recently, but I really would appreciate the help.

Bleeeeh, I don't like the new comments system in your sytem. >_> I miss the simple comment-here-and-BAM-done. Now I gotta log-in to some Twitter/Facebook/whatever to comment. Which sucks since the library's internet is sloooow and by the time I've logged in 10 minutes have passed. I also tried just posting on the blank box and couldn't get my message to enter. So, uh, yeaaaah. I'm really missing the old comment system

I actually voted against the current page thing! But I like the page alligned to the left like that. On another note, another TG page beautifully drawn and colored. <3

My only complaint is that "1 Tip for a Tiny Belly" ad. Yikes!

\o.o/ advertising revenue. At least it isn't an ad for a religion? :P

I don't know if you seen <epic adventures of TJ and Amal's page but this layout kind of reminds me of that site. [link]
EK managed to get a good balance going by putting a series of related links on one side and the advertisements on the other. :)

I really like the general layout and the color scheme you chose for this though. I also like the comment system :3

I think the website is a bit right heavy. Maybe moving the bar on the right with book, rss, and ad space to the left would help balance it out? I have a very large screen(1920x1080), so I'm not sure if the large resolution of my screen if what's messing it up. Some of the alignments look off because everything is centered on my screen from the top of the comic down, but the header stretches all the way from the center to the right side of the screen.

I really like the striped background and color choices. And I'm sure by now you know how much I love the story X3

Hope my critique helps you!

Do you wanna take a screen shot so I can see everything you mean? :3

Amusingly, I had the extra content bar on the left up until yesterday, when I decided to switch it to the right because that would make the comic page load first of all the content + visual hierarchy makes it the most important object on the page.

I agree though that it looks oddly right heavy. I thought it was just my eye adjusting to the change.

:/ Not sure what to do about it though besides put it back on the left, which I don't want to do.

Kay! That's what I see when I go to the site(minus my little add-ons of course ^^; )

1. This solid blue going across only the right side makes it very right heavy. Maybe if you made it go all the way across or faded it like the other side it wouldn't weigh down the right so bad and you could leave the content bar on the right so that the comic still loads first?

2, 3, 4, and 5 are all the different alignments I see at the top of the screen. And they all look left aligned, which is okay, but nothing lines up with anything else, somewhat unbalancing the page.

I hope I don't come off rude XD; just trying to help! Graphic design is one of my favorite things c:

BUT some of it could be explained by my resolution or OS. I don't know what OS you use or what resolution your screen is, so you might see something completely different i dunno
