Trying to align all the Don’t Ask Comics sites. Particularly the comic ones, but this too, just because I want to figure out the landscape while I’m also trying to figure out the view.
Ran into a whackadoo issue with comments not being enabled. Which, sure, maybe that’s safer. My ego is semi-solid (to your face), but the online world can be a cruel one. But especially with my posting the recent email answer from PoT, I felt like it was important to have some talkback.
But I couldn’t get comments working. I just… was defeated.
So I did what I often have had to do. I reached out to Philip Hofer over at Frumph.net. He’s the mastermind behind ComicPress (the theme I use here) and Easel (how I do the webcomics on the other sites). He’s also a totally cool, smart, and together guy who really knows where his towel is. Or something. Mostly though, he’s kind. He helps people, like, a lot. A lot of a lot. At no small sacrifice to himself I’m sure because the guy should be paid handsomely for all his knowledge and advice. And you can pay him, yes. He has a list on his site of prices for specific work. But there’s also the line that is just basically “hit me up on Messenger or by email and I’ll see what I can do.”
As a guy who loves helping people, this matters to me. As a guy who less occasionally than not needs help himself, it matters to me even more.
So I’m just taking a second, while I still am trying to figure my own shit out, to acknowledge the guy who is both indirectly and somewhat more directly responsible for there being a DontAskComics.com in the first place (other than The Levi, of course). Even if no one ever reads this, because it’s up to me to give reasons to, and we’ll see how that goes. At least I’ll know, and remember, who helped me along the way.
Thanks, Frumph.
