Good times.

I hope everyone got a kick out of the new content and the one-year celebration. If you haven't heard already, the site's been redesigned, a new cover has appeared for Episode One, and a new mini-episode starring Howard the Secret Agent Hippo is available in the forum for registered members. Check 'em out!

Now, I'd like to go over some of the changes to the website that have been instated this past weekend:

• Most notably is the new graphic design, something I've been wanting to work on for a while. The old theme was too blocky and red, honestly. I was proud of it and still am, but I wanted something a little cleaner and more professional to show off Robo's wicked coolness.


• I've removed TopWebComics and BuzzComix after losing my accounts there. My TWC account stopped working mysteriously a few months ago (one reason why I haven't done a new vote page in a long time), and BuzzComix completely updated there site last month, wiping out the member data of every comic. Neither site has brought me any viewers, so keeping them and restarting my profiles there would be more pain than it would be worth. The Webcomic List is the only site I still use.


• The Links page is gone and has made way for the Extras page. On it are free wallpaper, new advertising banners, and some other updates.


• Sitemeter is no longer my source for visitor info. I learned recently that the Sitemeter code implants a cookie into any browser it touches, allowing the company to view ANY traffic the affected browser is involved in. Even my browsing was being tracked outside of this site, which was unacceptable. I've replaced them with Statcounter, which I have heard many good things about.


• Also, I've updated the Creative Commons License for the site, though that doesn't mean much. I mean, who's going to try and rip off this comic or any of the ideas I dream up?

That's all, folks. I hope everyone has enjoyed the past year, and here's to another great one!
